I am trying to fix my mother's HP laptop which stopped booting, she has no idea what may have happened in the days preceding. I tried the "Recovery Console" options first, no luck there. Then came across this site and downloaded the iso file. The first time I attempted to boot with the created CD, I was prompted to either Start Windows Normally or attempt to Repair. Of course, I chose Repair. I thought I finally was getting somewhere, but alas, it turned out no different then when trying to boot without the CD. It goes through a status bar where it says "Windows is loading files" then changed to a different Windows screen then finally just to the blue screen. I let it go for quite awhile when trying to boot from the CD, thinking perhaps it was doing something, but nothing ever happened. Now when I try to boot from the CD, I get absolutely nothing except a black screen, no blinking cursor, nothing. Help! Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for anyone who has any advice for me.
