Hi there guy's, I'm having some trouble with my laptop so I'm hoping some of you guy's might be able to help Basically the laptop is running vista and it's been working fine for over a year now. I did a re-format maybe 4 months ago or so and everything went fine but today right out of the blue the laptop just keeps rebooting, it's a sony vaio. So I went to do a re-install of windows vista and after I insert the dvd it loads the windows files and then the screen just goes black and after about 1 minute the cursor appears in the middle of the screen and I can move it around but the screen just stays black and I can't see anything else but the cursor. I tried loading windows 7 too but still the same symptoms. Currently if/when I start up the laptop I get the options of safe mode/start windows normally ect... but it will never allow me into anything, just keeps rebooting. So basically I can't get into windows and I can't re-install..... Any ideas guy's ? Thanks
Just an update on this guy's. I pressed F8 and disabled system restart on boot up failure and now after windows starts up I get the blue screen with the error UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME. Any ideas on this guy's, reckon the hard drive is gone totally ? Cheers
