I left it to run it's own repair, and still the same result on a different loading screen. Also, the disc is specifically an upgrade disk.

Yea the repair install is impossible since I cannot get the OS to boot up.

Vista, I think it was HP. Oh, and the upgrade was fine. This problem started 3-4 months or so after the upgrade.

He upgraded it a few months back. It has run perfectly until now. I initially thought of a virus issue, but that was before I saw exactly what it was doing. I am not much for hardware troubleshooting. If I can't get it to boot up, then I am at a loss. Suppose I tried disconnecting the hdd and replacing it with an external???? Do you think that might work? For some reason I am thinking the hdd is toast, but I am not a hardware guy.

Woohoo, it fixed itself. I think I just lucked out. Thanks either way.

Glad it is working. Sometimes you have to run repair install 3 times to re-write the Master Boot record to the HD properly.
