my Phillips IQON has just started playing up, it wont boot and stops at a message saying about previous hardware or software problem then gives option to start in safe mode, safe mode with networking, safe mode with commands etc. I have tried everywhich way which eventually returns to this page of text, can anyone offer any help please

Boot from an OS (Windows) CD. When presented with the question whether to install a fresh OS or repair, choose repair and let it run its course.

If you have bad hardware (a bad HD or a bad interface) this won't help, but it will tell you what's broken.

I hope you had backups of your important files.
