Hi
My machine started up one morning in the dos type page syaing it was going to do a check for incapatiblities on my hard drive, i have seen this before and ususally only takes about 10 mins at the most, after an hour it was still goin strong, it seems to be saying the security ID number were wrong or corrupt or somethign and were fixing them, it was reapeating this line continually but the number would be one hight each time for the security ID number, the battery ran out on my machine as i did nto know it would take that long and now when it loads up it looks like it is loading up normally, but just fisishes loading with a black screen and just the wondow cursor button.
even in safe mode it does the same.
i even tried to load up open source OS to try to move my files over to protect them incase i had to reformat, but it just said all the files were empty, it did ot seem to recognise them.
i do have the lasted mcafee by the way so dont think it was a virus.
i have found some sites where it says you can do a vista repair, but i didnt have any windows vista disk, it came with it on andno disks at all.
i cannot sem to activate the windows repair as i just hav a black screen.
i relaly woudl like to try to repair it and avoid losing all my work on the laptop, but i cannot even see how i can do a reformat as i cannot see the screen
any help is most appreicated as i desperatly need to have the machien up and running.
thanks
