Hi,
Assuming you have Windows 7 installed on the notebook, try the following.
If you don't already have one, use another PC to create a Windows 7 Rescue CD. Download the relevant ISO from the links below.
You should use an application such as ImgBurn to burn the ISO to a CD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here. Once created, or if you already have this, insert the CD into the notebook and restart to boot from it. Select the Repair option.
Select the 'Repair your Computer' option and follow Option 2 in the guide on the link below to run Start-up Repair – you may need to run this 2 or 3 times.

If the above fails to help, make a note of any error messages you may get during the procedure and include them with your next post.
Also, using the same Rescue CD, follow the guide on the link below to run Chkdsk and see what this finds.

Hi,
To answer your questions in order.
1. You will need to use the Rescue CD for the process I describe in my previous post.
2. You can download the Image file (.ISO) to a pendrive, but you must use an application such as ImgBurn to burn this file correctly to a CD.
3. At the moment, given the previous error messages you've mentioned, I would lean towards the problem being with the Hard Drive, but the results of running the tests from the Rescue CD may help to confirm this.

DP-K

I did it and after booting from this cd. After the process window loading file i have an message from windows boot manager: Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem: 1. Insert your Windows installation dics and restart your computer. 2. Choose your language settings, and then click "next." 3. Click "Repair your computer". File : \windows\system32\boot\winload.exe Status: 0xc0000001 Info: the selected entry cou not be loaded because the application is missing or corrupt. What should i do next? Is there problem with cd from i am booting or else?

Hi,
Boot from the Rescue CD again, select Repair Your Computer and choose the Command Prompt. When this loads, enter the following commands and hit enter after each one - include spaces as shown.
Bootrec.exe
bcdedit /export C:\BCD_Backup
c:
cd boot
attrib bcd -s -h -r
ren c:\boot\bcd bcd.old
bootrec /RebuildBcd
bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
Remove the Rescue CD and try rebooting the notebook.

DP-K

Hi,
Ok, as a final test, you could create a bootable version of Ubuntu on a USB drive and then still choose the 'Try It' option to see if the OS will run Ok from this - if it does, I think you're pretty much left with replacing the HDD as the next step. Instruction for creatin Ubuntu on a bootable USB stick can be found Here.

Hi,
Have you tried burning the ISO to another blank CD, just in case there was an error in creating the first disc?
What software are you using to burn the ISO file? It may be worth trying another application just to rule out an issue here.
When you use your Recovery Discs, do they complete the installation and then you start getting errors or do you get errors during the installation process?
Regards,
DP-K
