Hi all.
I'm trying to save a friends laptop.
It won't boot from the hard drive. It gives the error - 'windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt'
So I've attempted to boot from CD to start the recovery console.
I've pressed 'R' to start the recovery when prompted but once windows reads from the disc, after a minute or two I get a blue screen saying windows has shut down the computer to save damage.
I can't get past this step to run a chdisk or replace the missing files so it will boot.
Is the Hard Drive knackered?
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks...
