Computer booting issues

Hi,

I am using a HP Pavilion dv6000 series laptop having Windows Vista Home Premium pre-installed in it, while debugging some .NET application my system stopped working and I had to switch it off manually to restart it, but since then its not booting up, no matter what I do, its going to the page where it shows loading windows files progress bar at the bottom of the screen and in the next page starting windows (yellow) progress bar and after that getting blank screen at the end. I've clicked on start up repair, I've clicked F8 and then selected Repair Computer/Safe Boot/Safe Boot with Command Prompt etc.. but its going to the same windows loading files page and blank screen at the end, I've burned the "Vista_Recovery_Disc.iso" (downloaded from neosmart) into a DVD as I don't have recovery discs with me, and tried to boot it from that DVD (I've verified the boot order and CDROM is ahead of local HDD), as per the tutorials posted here, I am supposed to get a message "Press any key to boot from CD/DVD...." but am not seeing that message when the system starts, anyways...even with that also I am not getting the "System Recovery Options " screen as mentioned in the tutorials.

When I ran Hard Disk Self Test diagnostic tool, I've got "#10009- Replace Hard Disk" message, looks like some boot sectors got corrupted, and I don't know how to run chkdisk command with my current situation

Could you please help in this regard?, do I need to replace the hard disk and do a fresh installation or can I still repair my system?


Thanks for your help,

As you're not getting the System Recovery options I would wonder if there's an issue with your memory also. Try running this memory test: Memory Diagnostics

Thanks for your reply, but as mentioned in my earlier post I did run memory diagnostics that are available in in PHX BIOS, the memory test passed successfully, but Hard Disk Self Test gave an error saying "#10009- Replace Hard Disk", I did it for couple of times, it gave me the same error.

The Memory Diagnostics link that you gave contains lot of things, I can perform upto step 7, but am not sure whether I'll be able to do the other steps (step 7-10) as it invovles opening up the laptop etc...

Could you please suggest any other options I may have?


Thanks
