On a laptop, I'd still guess that you've got a hard failure. You haven't got past the Boot ROM BIOS. So it can't pull in the MBR.
Last hope is to try and boot from the Windows DVD/CD and use the Repair Console. If it won't let you do that, then you're stuffed IMHO.

This usually means that there is a read error or bad sector in the MBR (Master Boot Record). Booting from the Windows CD/DVD into the Repair Console and running FIXMBR should cure the problem if I've correctly identified it across this distance.
