OK the DIL decided to thump her laptop, now Vista Basic will not load.
Unable to boot to OS cannot boot in safe mode. No recovery CD.
I think it may be a HDD failure. Just booted Ubuntu HH from CD, Is ther any program on linux that can trooble shoot a HDD?
BTW I have no error code for the BSOD due to the fact that it flashes up quickly then reboots....
