Hi,

Firstly, you can try to boot your system using safe mode. This will boot your system and once booted you can use a pendrive to recover your data which is not been LOST already.

To start your computer in safe mode-

1) Turn on the system and keep pressing F8 until you get a screen with some options in it.

2) Choose safe mode and hit enter. This will start your windows.

Mini pe is a bootable cd which has a lot of features like antivirus programs, data recovery programs and so on.

I would recommend you to Hirens boot cd. It is much better than mini pe. All you have to do is download the ISO file, burn it onto a CD, place this CD into the CD ROM and restart your computer. That's it!

Look for a program called Malware Bytes and run it, this will fix your boot problems and remove all the virus's as well.
