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
