Do Not Panic

Ok. so you're sitting down to your computer, and you turn it on and nothing happens.  What do you do?  Aside from cursing at The Anti-Christ, and or installing Linux, here's 10 steps you can take.  I myself am partial to the recovery console option (in fact I have it installed as a boot option).  It's easy to put the recovery console on your hard drive.  Just put your windows xp cd in the drive (I'm assuming your cd drive is 'd:'). Then go to 'start', 'run' and type 'd:\i386\winnt32.exe /cmdcons'.  Then the next time you boot your computer, you'll have the option of either booting into windows or into the recovery console.
