actually I discovered another way to system recover just incase Thalamuses brilliant suggestion doesn't work. If you have made recovery disks which you really should of by now insert disk one and reboot. Eventually it will bring up a set of options and the second from the top will allow a full system recovery. I beleive this to be different from the safe mode as I noticed that no Norton drivers were present on boot up and won't interfere with the system recovery process...by the way I still hate Nortons...Zone Alarm is king.
