Hello, i have a Dell inspiron 1525 running windows, today when i started my laptop up it said that windows had failed to start after recent hardware or software change, last night i had to power my laptop off by the power button as it became unresponsive when i tried to click the start button, i haven't done no updates recently so I'm think maybe that is why? Ive tried putting in the installation/recovery disc to do startup repair, but it only comes up a black screen after loading everything with no cursor, i even tried running hardware/disc checks to see if anything was wrong but nothing showed up. I changed the boot sequence many times to see if any helped but they didn't. i cant load into any sort of safe mode or do load from last known good configuration, can anyone tell me what could help??? Ty for any replies i get.

Are you able to go into the BIOS? Have you tried to run windows repair? Do you have a windows vista disc or did it come pre-installed on your computer?
