PC non-bootable.

[HSK]

Hi guys, bit of a issue here regarding my PC - Windows 7 hung while shutting down, so I pressed reset (maybe I should of waited longer) after that the PC doesn't boot.

windows boot manager is telling me: An error occurred while attempting to read the boot configuration data.

I get in to start up repair via windows 7 disc, but it can't repair it automatically.

This message: the file or directory C:\boot is corrupt. Use chkdsk.

chkdsk doesn't let me do much though as the volume is locked or unreadable.

I've tried BOOTREC /FIXMBR, BOOTREC /FIXBOOT, BOOTREC /REBUILDBCD, at the command promt, but this doesn't bring any joy either.

Worst comes to worst, I'm not bothered about the windows install, but I would love to get my personal folder off.

Is there any way I can copy my whole user folder on to an external drive?

and thanks for reading!

not to worry, I've fixed it. For some reason the boot partition wasn't on C:.
