For some reason, it would not boot into sfae mode command prompt before, but somehow it worked just now. I have it running sfc /scannow and a chkdsk on next reboot.
Keeping fingers crossed!! :D

The HDD is dying, the chkdsk revealed bad sectors. The laptop is under warranty and Fujitsu is sending us a replacement HDD. Thanks for all of your help!

Hi,
Really pleased that we have finally sorted the problem with the chkdsk operation.
It is fortunate Fujitsu are replacing the HDD, being under warranty.

I had the exact same problem and all you have to do is wait it out. This is the first time i have just let the computer do it's thing while i researched how to fix it. Give it time and I promise it will start-up just fine.
