Unable to boot after shutdown!

Hey! On my laptop(runs winxp, Acer laptop) I installed nokia pcsuite and tried to start computer again, I was forced to select which way I boot windows because it didn't shutdown correctly it said. I pressed normal then it stucks on the black screen. I tried safe also, stucks on black screen. Tried acers own hard-drive format alt+f10 but it didn't come up either. I tried windows7 disk what I got, it stuck on starting windows screen. I tried windows xp recovery disc and it stuck on starting windows again. Whats the problem im really hopeless... Thanks guys

Hi,
Try downloading UBCD (see my signature) on another machine, making a Cd and trying to boot it then. f it will boot there are heaps of software on the Cd to check for a cause of your problems. If it will not boot to that you have a hardware problem and need to visit a repair tech. Get a free quote if you can.
