Laptop not doing ANYTHING.
Hi,
This is my first post so please be nice!
I was on my laptop last night. I plugged in my iPod, before everything froze (even the cursor). Small problems like this usually happen to me, so I just turned it off using the power button, and expected to be able to just start it up again normally.
But now everytime I turn it on, it comes up with 2 options of 'Launch Startup Repair (recommended)' and 'Start Windows Normally'. Whatever option I pick, it will come up saying 'Starting Windows' and under it the black box and green loading bar (but no windows sign) and then after that says 'Windows is loading files' before it comes to a blue background and cursor, and thats it.
So I cant get on the laptop to do anything AT ALL. So any tips on doing things that involves getting past the start up screen, will unfortunately not be useful.
Being a kid who got a laptop for Christmas, after breaking the other one, help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Edit: As soon as I posted this, a HP Recovery Manager came up and its now backing everything up. I'm not sure why it decided to work now, instead of last night!!
