Vanessa, you could try and go into your BIOS and start from another operating system. That way you could recover your files. The other thing you can try is to repair your Windows version. Try to access the recovery partition of your Compaq mini 110, here's a step by step procedure :
Turn off your computer
Except for the mouse and keyboard, remove all other USB devices.
Turn on your computer and start hitting "F11" key repeatedly until you see a different screen.
Follow the onscreen instructions until the recovery is completed.
