My laptop had been fine. I was using to for allow the xbox to share the wireless and play on live. Then internet explorer wouldnt open up and it was being slow.
So i unplugged the xbox and turned off the laptop.
However, now it will not come back on. It will load up the black Microsoft Windows screen and then load the packard bell screen and it then goes to the blue windows scren which it normall has "Starting up" on. But this screen only has the windows logo and it wont load any further.
I tried going to do a system restore but it only got stuck at the same place.
I could send it away as i have insurance but thats a hassle if theres an easy fix, or do you think a component has gone?
Oh and i really dont want to loose my music as i just sent my ipod away to get a new one, so i would compleatly loose my 2000 songs!
Thanbks in advance
