My netbook acer aspire 1 series netbook wont work when I turn it on. The acer screen comes on then it just goes to a black screen with a flashing white cursor, and wont load Windows XP.

I have tried safe mode, and it wont work, I have tried taking the battery out and it wont work.

Anyone have any ideas, I am really at a loss :(
