    Help!!!

    My Winbook XL2 just died.

    I was running scandisk (power went out so it didnt shut down correctly), when the following message came up (at 52%):

    " ScanDisk detected an invalid long filename entry on this drive but was unable to fix it. To fix this problem, run ScanDisk for Windows. Press OK"

    However, I cannot press ok. It locks up.

    If I power off, it powers back up and goes back to this exact screen and error message....and its still locked!!!

    Any ideas?

    Thanks

    What happens when you boot (start) the computer in <i>Safe Mode</i>?

    Hit F8 when rebooting.

    Select "3" Safe mode.

    Then shut down and restart.
