Can this be done in reverse? Im actually running into a similar problem with my desktop where it starts the boot-up sequence and then just keeps booting up over and over, but won't actually start up and I want to make sure I have all the pics n stuff I want that are on it burned to disks....The I figure I'll wipe the drive and reinstall the OS (maybe play around with some version of Linux, who knows......)
