I tried hitting F8 during reboot with no success. I believe I'm running a somewhat new version of ms windows xp. I think it's the professional version. I still have not had any luck. I did however get the songs and videos out of itunes, so i'm halfway there. Anymore help would be very helpful, Thanks. Also, is there a way I can put it into safe mode once its logged in? WHen during reboot do i press F8 because I just pushed it throughtout the whole process. I tried the whole process probably 5 times.
