Failure to Boot

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hello

I am hoping someone can help with a system problem that my daughter is
having on her Fujitsu-Siemens laptop.

The operating system is Windows Vista basic.

Essentially, the system will not boot up. I have tried using the recovery
CD, and booting up selecting the CD option from the boot menu. However, it
starts laoding and then hangs, with a grey screen. I have tried booting in
Safe mode and bootlogging and recovery. Nothing works. I have also booted
with the drivers CD in the drive, again, no success. The furthest we have
got is a grey screen with the microsoft logo and a loading bar that scrolls
left to right, to show it is loading. But after a few minutes, it re-boots
and starts all over again.

Any pointers gratefully received.

Anthony
