So I think my computer caught something from Surfs Computer

[Tragic Hero]

Have no clue how it happened but my windows is fucked.  Computer powers on, BIOS screen shows up, does all the tests and then when it comes time for that Windows Logo to appear on the screen nothing happens. 

So now my computer is "Surf'd" at the moment.  Just need to back up all my files though and reinstall Windows XP and I should be all set (I would assume).  Oh how wonderful technology can be...

No I think theres a solution to all of this, the gaming gods are clearly pissed.

Surf, you must take your laptop and a newly hatched baby penguin to the top of the nearest hill and perform a ritual.

Slit the throat of the penguin with your teeth or nails, the let the blood drizzle onto your apple laptop. let this set for a while and build a pyre in the shape of the windows logo using only pine, no other wood will do. Burn the penguin corpse atop the pyre. While this is on fire dig a pit  that is exactly 2 feet wide, by 3 feet deep, by 3 feet long. Put the laptop, now covered in dry blood, a pair of dorky glasses, and if you happen to have one on hand a set of 3.5" floppies with MS DOS on them into the pit.

You must now say a silent prayer to the holy gates asking for forgiveness for your transgressions. When filling in the hole make sure to chant 'Developers, developers, developers' at the top of your lungs. When replacing the grass divit, put them root side up.

This is the only way you can exorcise the hardware failure demon, I pray that you do this swiftly, and god speed.

Before the fire, I always throw a chair at the apple repeatedly until I have huge armpit sweat stains then I hold a windows hologram license over my head and scream "I LOVE THIS COMPANY."  I must be doing it wrong.

Geoff, do you mean you main HD won't boot and you want to know how to recover data from it without hooking it up as a secondary drive to a bootable rig?
