won't work either** Sorry for that.

Last night my laptop was working fine. I have Windows 7 running. The next morning though, when I start it up, it says that the Windows failed to start. There are two options: launch system repair (I think) and start windows normally. Either options still lead me to Windows failed to start/boot. F8 options also lead to the same thing: Windows failed to start :cry: I really don't know what's the issue.

I did not make any changes in drivers, or etc.

Here is the SF Startup Repair tutorial:
Startup Repair

I've done a Startup Repair using a Windows installation DVD many times.
I never tried it with a system repair disc, but i expect it would work.
