Hi,
I have the same problem as well. Really wish someone can help me with this as all my school work is inside this harddisk.
I'm not a pro with computers so I'll try my best to describe the problem.
My laptop(Acer TravelMate 290) restarts itself automatically everytime the screen that says "Hit F2 to enter Setup" appears.
It will just restart itself and repeat the process repeatedly. When I try hitting F2, I get into a loading screen with some words I cannot catch because the screen goes blank almost immediately, then it will be stuck there without restarting, just a blank screen.
Hitting F8 on the bios screen doesn't let me boot in safe mode as well.
Also, I do not know if this is related, but the night before this happened, there was a window error with the title "You are not supposed to see this". it's the type of window you see when you want to end task a program. After I see that all my programs were closed, including those in the system tray. However, after that, I could still use my laptop. This morning, when i tried booting it, this error happens.
Also, I'm using Windows XP Home SP2. really hope someone can help me!
THANKS!
