I start laptop and the screen with the logo and loading bar comes up and it doesn't go further. Cant start in safe mode or in any other mode. Recovery tools didn't help(also tried to make boot cd while in recovery but couldn't) and I don't have a cd/dvd for windows. Any suggestions how to fix it?

Hello, I had a similar problem on a HP laptop here at work, when loading windows in verbose mode it would hang on the vga drivers i believe. To remedy this i used a windows xp cd and loaded the recovery tools option which leaves you with a command prompt, then i ran the command:

chkdsk c: /f /r

It took forever to complete the scan but when it was done windows fired up just fine.
hope this helps
