This happened to me also with my laptop Windows 7. Fixed once I did the repair.

Well first you can try a System restore via command line safe mode:

Otherwise you can do like it was said above and boot up your PC with your Windows 7 installation disc in and let it boot that up. You can try some repair options from there:

But it won't run Safe Mode, it just loops back to the Windows Error thingy.

Not normal safe mode, safe mode with command prompt. You may still run into the same issue, but it's worth trying.

Tried all the safe modes, they still loop back.

Then... do the second thing.

Seems like your HDD's boot files are screwed. Try to get a disk that you can boot to that is only a file manager. Use that to scavenge all files you can onto an external HDD or simular.

After you've done that, go into town and pick up a windows 7 restore disk (if you don't have one). There's not much you can do to repair boot files.

Boot w/ Windows 7 disk/usb/whatever
Let it run the Windows setup
Choose the repair option?

If you're not sure how to do it I can try to guide you...

So, I basically quit and gave it to my dad's friend who works with computers. Thanks for all the advice guys!

Well guys, I found out the problem.
The hard drive died.
RIP Laptop and my pr0n

Fairly easy to replace an HDD in a laptop.

My laptop has been broken for ages. Everything is superglued to the motherboard, thanks HP and the computer people who charged is $100 to fail at fixing it damaged the case. I'm trying to take the RAM out and sell it.

Question is, where can I get one that's good and cheap? I'm broke. What I'm really is devastated is my pictures folder. Quite a hefty amount of images in there, about 3 years worth.
