Anyways, I have a problem here, and was wondering what, if anything, could be done. I installed xp the first time, everything worked fine, but realized it wasn't enough space, went back to os x fine, deleted it, and reinstalled XP with more space. This was working fine the second time, went back and forth between os x and XP a few times, then decided to play some americas army for an hour. I wanted to go back to OS X for the rest of the night, and I got the blue/grey startup screen with the spinny thing.

I know this usually means a reformatt is due, but I'm wondering if it's anything else because it was working completely fine, even after doing it the second time. I tried uninstalling everything I installed on XP, except for firefox here, and it still isn't working. Anything to do?

I backed up most my info onto an external before I started, but I'd much rather prefer to not lose some of the things I didn't bother to back up. I realize, stupid me, but I didn't feel like putting my "collection" on my external hard drive. Can I boot into target mode and bring my stuff onto another mac? Please help!

Thanks
