If he was on it he wouldnt ask, hes probably at school or at a friends or on another comp man.

Hey did anything wierd happen before this to your comp? Also, what are your specs? The more info the better.

use the start up disk or something. get another windows xp disk and try to boot from cd. if not then reformat the thing. if u want some songs off of it, put ur harddrive on someone elses computer and then put it as a slave device, then go through the directories and copy what u need and reformat. haha im a quick person, if it dont work fuk it hahah re-do it.

Actually I am at a friend's house when I go on this forum.

The spec: 2.2G processor, 60 G harddrive, running windows XP. Here is what happen:


before this happen, the computer always shut down. I think it's becuase of heat, unlike tower's, I think laptops in general have a hard time transfering heat. Sometimes, when I leave the computer is on for a long time, I think it goes into sleep mode, and when I get it back up, by pressing the keys; it wakes up saying it needs to dump things out of the cache memmory. out of 60 gig of harddrive I only have 800mb left. this may be affecting the performance of the system. I tried using the recovery disk that come with the comptuer. Since it will not reboot from the c drive I set it to reboot from the d drive (Cd). it would say, press r to run the recovery disk, I press r, then it reboot. it would say agian press r to run the disk, then I reboot./
