Help: Problem with my laptop/notebook

[biohazard_nz]

Posting on behalf on a friend:

Hey,
I have a problem with my laptop/notebook. It's a medion laptop(800mhz, 1gig ram, etc)
I wanted to reformat my Pc so i transfered my files to my laptop so I can do it.
Once i transfered i noticed a file that i did'nt need so i tried to delete it.

The laptop lagged and i clicked on "close now" and as usual it asked me if I wanted to be sent the error, etc. I clicked no and the task bar dissapeared. Usually it reappears, but this time it didn't and i forced restart. ( hold down off button). Then when i tried to restart the computer it wouldn't load windows. It got stuck on the screen where it loads windows xp with the blue loading bar and wouldn't load after 10 minutes.

And if i try to load it in "safe mode" it won't load either it doesn't even get to the windows load screen there is only a blank screen with a line at the top left blinking continuesly. It won't load XP reboot or recovery cd's either when i tried to load it from the windows cd. I tried 3 cd's and all didn't work. THey allways get stuck right when they loaded everything and are about to start. Only thing that really works is the bios system.

Is there anyway that I can fix it without reformatting or does anyone have any idea whats gone wrong? I have about 25 gigs of important files too

Thanks for any help.

do you have backups of these 25GB of important files?

get an external case for your laptop HDD. format your desktop. Scan the hell out of that external drive and copy your files back over. then format your laptop.


Or did you try and boot last known good configuration on yoru laptop...


Odd processes after a data transfer gets kinda dicey.
