Using system recovery or system restore doesn't mean it will solve the problem. Do you have a windows 2000 CD? If you do, I recommend performing a checkdisk repair and fixing the master boot record. Also the problem could be hardware related. I recommend going to the manufacturer's website of the hard-drive and downloading the diagnostics utility.

Then put the program onto a CD and boot the laptop to it. Follow the on-screen instructions and test the HD for any errors.
