Computer issues... need help!

I have a dell desktop and use Windows XP, I booted up my computer I get this error message with the deadly BLUE screen STOP: c000021a {Fatal System Error}
The Windows Logon Process system process terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0x00000001 (0x00000000 0x00000000). The system has been shut down.
I think it has been attacked by malware. I cannot restore the computer because I need file on it.
Can anyone help!!!

How do I get to the command prompt?
How do you reboot in safe mode?
When the computer is turned on the windows XP logo's come on and then the blue screen. What do I do?

When the computer starts up, hit F8 a bunch until it goes to a screen where you can select to go into safe mode.

Got F8 now, when it select safe mode with prompt it goes to blue screen again. Right before this happened my AVG went off like crazy to threats, so I am almost positive this is a third party program/virus that is f'ing things up.

To took out the battery on the mobo when the computer was unplugged. Then I replaced it and rebooted and not after the dell screen it goes to a black screen with a cursor in top left hand corner blinking. I went a head and replace the bio battery with a brand new one. No clue what to do now to get it working. Found system cd's but won't that trash my files?
Any computer experts out there? I beg you.

Put the old one back in and see if you can get to the f8 screen and select Last Known Good Configuration. If you can boot to windows back up all your important data and reinstall windows.
Do you have another computer you can slave your hard drive in?

I have another computer but it is a work lap top. Don't really want to mess with it. Cannot get the F8 working right now.
This is driving me crazy. I don't know why just taking the battery out would only take me to the blank screen with blinking cursor after the dell icon. I can only select F2 and F12 as of now.

When you get the F8 menu, have you tried "last known good configuration"?

Select f2 and make sure you can access your bios. Then see if you can set everything to default.

Press F2 and go into the bios and set the boot to order to cd first, it probably already is. Then throw your XP cd in and boot to it. When windows finishes loading you should have an option to load Recovery Console by selecting "R". Once in RC, type the command fixboot and reboot without going into the CD.

Dont use the recovery console, it doesnt work and it wont keep whatever fucked your OS in the first place from doing it again. I left a solution in your marketplace thread, give it a read.

i think if you watch while your computer is booting there will be a message like "press tab to see more information" you want to do that, then it might show you some error messages.
also it won't say "hit f8 to enter boot options" you just have to keep hitting it the whole time its starting and you should get into the screen.
if you don't, then it sounds like when you removed your battery it reset everything and for some wacky reason its not booting from your hard drive.....SO
what you need to do is go into bios and set your hard drive as the first thing to boot up. that should get you back to where you were i think?
and if all your wanting is just a file, then if you search the internet you should find a way to copy files from your hard drive to a floppy or possible a thumb drive inside dos.
oh oh i know what you could do, go download ubuntu and make a boot disc. then that will boot you into linux and you can copy your files....tada!!!
you shouldn't have to install it to the hard drive it should just boot from the cd...read everything closely.

I made sure it is booting from the HD and it is. There are no errors listed in the error log.
Is a Ubunta boot disc different from downloading the cd installer but instead of running it from the cd I burn it and boot from disc?

Did you try the RC?
Also this will work, plug the usb into your laptop and copy the files from the old drive.

IF that is the disk then yes, if not then no. I just order that usb converter adapter. I figure I can move the files to the work lap top and then reinstall windows fresh and then move the files back over with a flash drive. Will keep you updated how it works.
Thanks for all your help!
