It all started when my XP started to automatically started to scan for errors. (Like 
when you didn't shut it down properly). After the scan I got into my computer, which 
seemed to work just like normal, I opened my web browser and then I felt like listening 
to my mp3s so I opened one of my old songs. The computer suddenly just turned off 
and restarted again. This happened to me a couple times before so I suspected it 
was only a power surge. I then waited for my computer to start up but when it should 
have been loading XP the computer said "Insert Boot Disc, Invalid Disc" (I can't 
remember exactly what it said, it siad roughly that).

So naturally I went to microsoft, with my other hard drive to get Start Up software 
(which took up 6 floppies, WinXP_EN_PRO_BF.EXE was then name of the file). I did 
what the program told me after I inserted and loaded all the files to cure my crashed 
system. It then said it encountered an error and that it had to shut down to keep 
my computer from damaging itself. 

It then gave a technical line that said: 0x0000008E (0X0000006, 0XF82PC1A26, 0XF8oDCA18, 
0X00000000)

I'm in a real jam here, I have a lot of computer game skins that took me months to 
make, and media files that took me years to compile. I'm just wondering if there 
is anyway I can get back my information.

Windows Support doesn't seem to work, and they said I had to pay for technical support 
and my friends all seemed stumped. They only tell me "I hate to say I told you so 
but, Bill Gates puts bugs in his products to mess with you. Use Linux, Mac, or the 
old school Windows 95-98 OSs. " Which doesn't help me in anyway. 

Please somebody help me!
