windows only gets to green bar and won't do a recovery




Hi
Here's a second attempt at help. I didn't mention before that I have a

SONY VAIO VGN-NR140E/S LAPTOP
When I first turn on my computer it brings up a black screen and tells
me that my previous set of windows maybe damaged or corrupted. Then it
gives me the opposition to do a recovery files (recommended) or run
windows as normal. Now I do the normal one and it gets the green bar
and does this for a good 5 mins. then a blue screen with stuff written
flashes for a second and it reboots again and the same message displays.

So then I pick recovery files. It loads windows files then maybe 10 to
15 minutes later the recovery menu loads. My options then are: Windows
System Restore, Vaio Hardware Diagnostics, Restore C Drive, or Data
Rescue.
The only one that does anything is the Vaio Hardware Disagnostic Test
and then it's only the quick test that does anything. When I do the
Windows System restore it loads for a second then sends me back to the
menu page with nothing done or being done. I let it set for about 2
hours. When I try the others everytime it just freezes or does nothing.
I don't get why it would do that.
So I took the back off to see if the hard drive or memory is easy to
replace and it is not. So I'm at a stump. I don't have to have to take
it in to get repaired. I've downloaded recovery discs via the internet
when they load it bumps me to a DOS page loads stuff and then ends at
A:/ which I guess it wants me to type a command but what?
Anyways anyone can give me some info please do.
thanks
