I turned on my pc today and saw that I didnt have the modem plugged up. When I went to shut down I hit the power cord and it cut off. When I tried to turn it back on, it got to the windows screen where you log in, but it just freezes(the log in part doesnt load at all, just the blue screen with windows stays there). I tried safe mode etc. and it still doesnt work. I dont have the windows xp home edition disc for my pc but I will have a windows xp pro editon from a friend later on today.
Will windows xp pro edition work and not errase my hdd?
or
Is there a way to fix it without the disc?
