Hey guys, lastnight i was downloading Runes of Magic on my laptop, then all of a sudden a blue screen appeared, then the laptop shut down. Now when i try to start my laptop goes into start up scan to check for problems. When it gets done it says "remove any plugged in device, music player device disconnect it now and restart windows." Theres no device connected to the laptop, it keep saying that. I think its hard drive failure, but im not too sure. I've been trying to reinstall windows 7 on it but its been stuck at the same place for a long time. Is it a hard drive failure? Or some other hardware failure?

Perhaps. Go into BIOS and see if you can find anything in there. If the hard drive is listed it should work properly (right?)

At Sopolias Falst, i cant go into the BIOS cause its password protected. I just recently bought it from a friend, i'll try to get the pass from him within the next few days.

At zigzag3143, i can boot from dvd to try to reinstall window 7, during installation it just stops and stays in the same place.
