My computer boots up and soon as it gets to the "Windows is Starting" it freezes, goes blue screen for a second, then reboots. It then sends me to recovery, but it really does not do much. I really don't know what I'm doing and I don't want to lose my files....
Important Facts:
It's an HP laptop (G62)
Windows 7 (I don't want to hear that Mac or Linux is better then windows)

You could try finding a usb, installing a portable version of ubuntu on it, booting off that, and attempt to recover any files on your harddrive

So I got into another snag... My computer won't back up files do to insufficient space... (Bought a 1Terabyte external hard drive and only need 121 Gb of space) any advice?

Have you tried booting into safe mode and disabling any services/programs/drivers you may have recently installed?

Magnets

Smack it till it cries apple.

Be sure to delete the System 32 folder, it usually causes a freeze like you described and is actually a malware folder created by most viruses. Just go into your C drive and find the Windows folder. Go in there and find System 32. Highlight that folder and delete it. Afterwards restart your computer.

Thank you all sincerely, this has given me an idea of what to do and I'll let you guys know how it goes.... (Might take me a while, due to the fact I have to buy an external hard drive first...)

If you can't even boot it in safe mode, you're going to have to reinstall Windows, a fresh clean install that is. You may have the boot sector virus which destroys the core files that are needed to boot Windows up. I know this because I had the same exact problem is you.

I had this same problem, and had an IT guy take a look at it. Unfortunately it required a hard reset of the system and I lost everything, now I am not saying that is absolutely what is needed, but it sounds like it.

Shouldn't have looked at all that porn on a computer that you need.
