Hi,
I've just been on my lap top and it's just completly frooze. i have tried to reboot but it won't start up. It goes onto the windows load up page, then a screen quickly flashes up. The screen appears and disappears so fast i can't have time to read it. i think it says something like unrecognisable/highly expansible/unrecordable memory or something.When this screen goes, the computer shuts off and then trys to boot up again.
Safe mode won't boot up either and i've tried to do a hard drive scan and it comes back with "failure 5"
I've tried to look for an answer on the net but most say to reinstall xp, but i can't if it won't boot up.
can anyone pls help as i've loads of work on laptop and need it for essential work :-(
Thanks, Rachel xx
