I AM IN DIRE NEED OF SOME ADVICE & DIRECTION TO GO WITH MY COMPAQ EVO N1000v
LAPTOP AFTER HAVING MY HARD DRIVE CRASH TWICE IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS. LAST
NIGHT, IT DID IT AGAIN!

AFTER 5 HOURS OUR TEDIOUS REBOOTING & INSTALLATIONS, AND JUST MINUTES BEFORE
DOING A QUICK RESTORE SYSTEM RECOVERY, I FINALLY GOT THE WINDOWS XP
PROFESSIONAL ICON TO COME ON AND IT!! IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS BOOTING UP,
ONLY PISS ME OFF AND FIZZLE OUT INTO A SLOW PURR SHOWING ONLY A LIGHT BLUE
SCREEN WITH A "SAFE MODE-SIZED" WHITE ARROW (POINTING DEVICE) IN THE MIDDLE.

I DID A REBOOT INTO SAFE MODE AND THE DISPLAY (SCREEN) WORKED, BUT WHEN I
SAVED AND EXITED, I CAME TO THE LIGHT BLUE SCREEN AGAIN!!

AM I MISSING THE DISPLAY DRIVER (2DVAG.DLL)?

ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
