prob hard drive error poss by a virus.
best idea is to keep hitting F8 on start up
you should get a text menu pop up
select start to cmd prompt
then type
chkdsk c: /v /f /r
and let it do its bit.
if not give me a call

My two laptops have stopped working on the same day - none will start up
Both are Toshibas and are running Windows Vista
One goes through the start up process and the following appears on the screen
"Windows error recovery"
Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change may be the cause
Give option to launch start up repair or start windows normally whatever one is chosen A grey screen appears "System Recovery Options"
The installed program cannot start. Click OK to turn off the computer.
The other one goes through the start up process but goes through the start up repair and checks the system for problems
It attempts repairs but goes no further
Sometimes during this it cuts out - power failure
Both are around 5 years old and do not want to fork out a lot to get them repaired - would rather put the money towards a new one
Any ideas of the problems and how to rectify
Many Thanks in advance
