Windows XP HOme Edition playing up?

December 17, 2009

I need some help regarding my laptop.

Several days ago the laptop stop working properly. I now only boots up to the desktop screen of windows but displays no icons or anything just the screen and wallpaper. Have tried to use safe mode, last known good configurations , pressed the start key , pressed other keys but nothing works.

Therefor I need help on what to do next. My thought is that I need to boot it up and run disk check , disk repair in bios. Since its a laptop it has no hard disk drive.

Does anyone know where I can find the software to unable booting into dos direct using a CD rom ?

or if there is a cheap cable I can get to link the hard drive of the Laptop to my normal PC and repair , re-install windows that way then let me know.

Thanks

Macbook windows partition trouble, real trouble.?

December 11, 2009

My windows partition on my macbook pro was playing up (unexpected restarts, blue screen of death then a restart, stuff like that) i tried using a file registry cleaner and it found problems with my registry every 5 minutes.This certainly wasnt due to a virus because i had antivirus software (AVG) and the only sites i went on were ones to get software such as skype and itunes. So i reinstalled windows, reinstalled all the games and all the software, just one day after the reinstall it gave me the blue screen of death again, any ideas? because im entirely out of them. 🙁

P.S. ive also tried to repair this disk both with the mac ‘Disk utility’ and after restarts windows starts a disk repair thing too, neither seem to have had any impact.
Thanks in advance any help is appreciated.
