I'll try this Ubuntu thing.
YES!!
I got it to work!! Using Ubuntu I was able to launch it and then look into the harddrive, find the files and I am in the process of transferring everything to my external harddrive.
Thank you a million times Hack&Lube for the Ubuntu suggestion. What a life saver!

This just means one of your registry hives is damaged. This was actually an easy fix from the recovery console like ricosuave's link showed.
But I am glad you got your files and you have now joined the many people who have used Linux!
Ubuntu is a full operating system with all the programs you might need available, most free and open source. You could even just stick with that for awhile (except when you want to play PC games, you need Windows unfortunately).
