Hi guys. My post may be long but please kindly help......
My laptop is a HP TouchSmart tm2-2005tx,
the OS(Win 7) came with it and it ran smoothly since bought
And it all started yesterday. when I didn't notice there were updates,
and have to left Windows Update running "during the shut down period".
When I tried to boot my laptop today, it
1) loads without the glowing windows icon, which should be on top of "Starting Windows";
2) does not display the logon screen nor does the cursor shows;
3) does not react to any input; and
3) cannot boot in any mode other than "Startup repair" & HP QuickWeb that comes with my laptop
This is not really important but it looks like this
1) The monitor is "off" after the loading screen, it does not give out any light;
2) the HDD light is off; and
3) the power & wi-fi indicator (light) is on
I have viewed some articles on the issue and done the following steps:
1) Startup Repair --- says cannot repair automatically or something like that
2) chkdsk --- says there are nothing wrong, no bad sector or so
3) plugging and unplugging peripheral devices ---- does not help
4) bootrec /FixBoot & bootrec /FixMBR --- says "the action is completed" and nothing more
5) bootsect /nt60 ALL & bootsect /nt60 ALL /MBR --- says "sucessful"
6) tried to boot in VGA mode and end up with nothing
7) tried to boot in safe mode and chkdsk suddenly found & "repaired" some corrupt attributes & orphaned files & invalid security ID
8) tried booting in normal mode, safe mode and whatever mode I can select from the list, with none of them other than "Startup Repair" working
9) "Startup Repair" suddenly says the system drive is damaged while referring to D:\Windows as the directory, but the sys directory on my laptop should be located in C:
10) Another "Startup Repair" gives me cannot repair automatically
Am wondering if borrowing a win 7 CD could help me repair the system.......
Any suggestions?
