laptop fault
Hi everyone,
hope i have posted in the right place
basically my laptop isnt starting up today and keeps restarting itself but comes up with a message saying it had to protect my files so i might have shut off the laptop and now seems to be a software fault so any chance i can get this up and running like before?
Mas

right... after the boot screen but before the windows loading screen... keep pressing F8... then select safe mode, do a quick virus scan in safe mode if possible... then restart and try again in normal mode...
if not post here... ill help out with other methods

if all else fails. download a ubuntu live CD and you should be able to start up from that. also you should be able to access your hard drive contants.

how far does it get before it restarts? you could try disabling automatic restart.... on the F8 menu... it would then usally display an error message rather than just restartin....
