My girlfriends laptop's hard drive keeps spinning and we get error, other solutions had said we might be able to buy some time to back things up if we use chkdsk... the only problem is that it doesn't goto a prompt in which I can type it in. I tried some of the software discs including the windows xp one and no dice so far. Is there any way to get to prompt with a program or boot disc ? thanks

Hi Guys, I have cleaned the heatsink, removed the old thermal pad and applied good quality thermal compound also the fan is running but the problem still is there. The CPU gets very hot so hardly I can touch the part of heatsink which covering the CPU but the other end of heatsink which is in front of the fan seems good.
Any help or advice is highly appraciated.

Can anyone suggest any brands of laptops that they have had success with, and yet are inexpensive? I hope to have a dual core processor, AMD or Intel, with at least 1gb ram, and a decent video card. It should also have a dvd/cd burner.
