Okay, I've had some really bad issues lately with my laptop, but this one is the worst by far! It keeps running startup repair as my laptop won't start and is trying to perform system restore to factory settings - but this means losing all my personal data. This I don't want as I haven't backed up my important data that I need for college. So, how do I back up those important files before running the system restore - do I have to connect it up to another computer to access them?

Please help as my college work needs to be in by two days time. Thanks if you respond!
Problem is - the computer automatically sends it to fujitsu's factory restore before I have the chance to do so
