Dude,
I was reading an ebook on my laptop and suddenly the system hanged up, I was forced to shut it down by holding the power button for 3 seconds. When restarted, the system it would not go past the Windows Loading screen (the one with the windows Logo). I tried to load the repair option but it leads into repair with no dialog box showing up. so i tried to load the repair option with two, Win 7 and Win8, installation DVD's but the result was same. So i decided to get a fresh copy of windows but the setup would not go past the Setup is Starting message, with the mouse pointer appearing to be busy. I tried WinXP installation disk. The setup hangs up and a blue screen appears after the drivers/files are loaded up. (where it says setup is starting Windows) the blue screen points out error related to HDD, when i checked up on online forums. So i ran a HDD test at the bootup. the SMART check passes but the Long test fails. The Safemode option stucks up at the CLASSPNP.SYS, And the online guides to fixing this problem require a command prompt window which can only be loaded after the repair window shows up dialog boxes.
So how to fix this problem, short of buying a new HDD?
