I figure out that some of us still do not know how to backup their files or how to do a basic system recovery if something bad happen to their OS. They thought if they cannot log into the Windows, that means their Hard Disk is damaged and need to be reformatted.

Maybe its true.But before deciding to format your PC, you need to make sure that your had disk is really need to be formatted. Maybe the cause of error is not that bad and you still can fix it without formatting your HD.Maybe something important is missing from your core partition( where OS reside ).The most common one is you deleted boot.ini ..

At this time, EBCD comes is handy..EBCD is a bootable CD, intended for system recovery in the case of software or hardware faults.
