Fujitsu Siemens Amilo M1450 Series.

When I turn my laptop on this appears 'Pri MAster Hard Disk: S.M.A.R.T. Status BAD, Backup and Replace Press F2 to Resume'
Pressing F2 takes me to the BIOS setup utility, but after exiting I can use my laptop normally.
This isn't my problem though, but maybe someone could tell me what to do about that.

HOWEVER

The other night I defragmented my hard drive and now my laptop won't even come on.
When I turn it on it asks me to either start windows normally, start in safe mode etc. But no matter what I select it restarts itself after the windows xp loading screen. The green bar flashes along three times and then a blue screen flashes on for like a second and then it reboots itself.

I seriously do not know what to do.
If anyone can help me that would be great.

Looks like you have dying hard drive. Consider replacement or you can run a diagnostic tool to test your hard drive just to validate... but just be prepared to replace as this may be required.

Thankyou for gettin back
How do i do one of them?
So does that mean everything on my laptop will be lost? I didn't regularly back my stuff up so a lot of my much needed documents will be gone. But thats my own fault.

Hi Bobick,

Yes, sadly that is the effect.

Sorry as for your question on how to do it... I do not quite understand. If you mean replacing the hard drive, use the service manual or have it replaced by a repair shop.
