BSOD on startup then auto reset. Start up repair doesn't work
I have a Samsung RF511 that on startup flashes the BSOD for a fraction of a second and the automatically attempts to restart. It then gives me the option of launching Startup Repair, which does nothing at all (I have left it for more than an hour in case patience was all that was needed) or start Windows normally which will start to load and flashes the BSOD before restarting and presenting me with the options above. I do have the factory recovery disc but my DVD drive died a while ago so I can't boot off that. I don't own a external optical drive. What are my options. I have a second laptop that has two HDD slots. Is there a way I can use that to repair Windows on my samsung HDD or can I transfer my factory recovery disc to usb and make it bootable?
I'm about a 5 out of 10 in terms of computer savvyness so any help would be appreciated in fairly simple terms.
