I have been working on this laptop and only receive 2 options, one to repair and the other to start windows normally. The message states that software or hardware installation was done incorrectly. Either option takes me to a black screen where no activity is heard. I have tried the on board restore feature by pressing the "R", but no matter what option I select, the computer ends up at the black screen with no activity. I don't know but I think it maybe a hardware error, more specifically the hard drive. Could someone with more knowledge advise me on this matter? Thanks in advance!

Looks like you will have to install it from windows cd!

Or possibly run a disk checking utility from your Vista/7 DVD (XP would not give those options) and check the drive for errors.
