Windows 7 Start-up Problem
Hey all.
I have a problem with my laptop. It's a HP MINI 2133 with Windows 7 32 Bit installed home edition.
Here is the problem. The other day I booted my computer and it said 'windows is loading files'. It then went to a system recovery screen. I thought this was a bit strange as I have never had any problems with it. I ran the reovery tool, it re-booted and everything seemed fine.
I went to start it this morning and I just had a black screen with a cursor flashing. After about 5 minutes it said 'windows is loading files'
I then got this error message.
Windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer.
This error can be caused by unplugging a removable storage device such as an external usb drive while the device is in use, or by faulty hardware such as a hardrive or CD-ROM drive that is failing. Make sure any removable storage is properly connected and then restart your computer.
Status 0xc00000e9
Info: An unexpected I/0 error has occured.
I pressed enter to continue and it just restarts the computer. I then get the black screen with the flashing cursor.
I dont have any usb devices nor do I have a cd rom.
I have to add that yesterday I punched my laptop quite hard around the hardrive area. However I had the problems before I punched it.
Thanks for your advice.
