Hi Kevin, I had the same problem. It was a long process but I managed to
save my work I think my harddrive was knackered, but what I done was booted
the computer left it for about an hour until it unlocked itself then I was
able to access Disksalv ( in CLI mode that saves you waiting up all night )
I used the salvage option when it got to a certain point the computer
locked again I had to wait again to ( while it was processing that point }
then transferred all data to another harddrive. In a nutshell: bootup, wait
until unlocked, using CLI type "DISKSALV SALVAGE baddrive TO
newdrive",switch monitor off go to bed and it should be done by the
morning. dont take a chance on the same harddrive. it worked for me please
let me know how you got on. good luck,

Nick
