    if you wanna get your files off the box before you start installing things, just to make absolutely sure they're backed up, get a firewire cable, shut down the afflicted computer, hook it up to another box with the firewire cable and put it in 'target' mode by holding down 'T' on the keyboard while you start up your bad box. This will essentially just turn it into a harddrive, letting you grab whatever you like off it before you go around doing complete reinstalls and potentially losing everything.
