Heres the blue screen managed to get a pic after it only flashes up for less than a second, pressed F8 and tried all the options listed from re-booting to debugging and its till just goes back to power up password screen.

Try the Tantrum Kick start method. Place the machine 2 meters from the kitchin door at an angle of 60 degrees to the perpundicular,take three steeps backward , retrace you route to wards the said machine and kick it as hard as you can to eject said machine skywards and beyond to rubbish heap in corner of garden. On a safety point dont forget to disconnect the power cable otherwise whiplash will be an unforgetable experiance If this proves unsuccessful there is Plan B . 4D

Thanks Guido, had a look on there but think my prob is different took this pic of what comes up if i select either of the modes (safe mode etc) this is then followed by the blue screen ( as psoted above) then it reverts back to power up password

Disc partiton bit worries me has the hard drive bust?

[weeian]

yea lee that looks like the Hard Drives packed in m8.

i had that error on a laptop this week and had to replace the hard drive, dont worry tho theyre not much to replace.

[Lee1980]

Awwwww damn, shame if it is bust got loads of mp3s not backed up recently and downloaded autocad to that actually worked to.

Must back up to disc every month in future

Might take it down local pc reapir shop to see if they can check it or something and try the 5 recovery discs i got with it to.

If its packed in then surely wouldnt it work at all?

[weeian]

it'll be booting up off the bios, just cant boot up the Hard Drive

/ian

[Lee1980]

So you mean i may as well boot it out the door?

Thanks for your help Ian. What I think has happened is the battery has died over time so when i pulled cable it didnt go on to battery power and was obviously doing something important at the time ooooooooops
