My laptop computer--a Fujitsu Lifebook, recently took a dump. It was working fine until the system abruptly locked, and I was forced to do a hard reset. Since then, it will not boot up. I get the Fujitsu splash screen, then it dumps me to that "Windows did not boot up properly on your previous attempt blah blah blah" screen and gives the option of entering in safe mode, safe mode command prompt, start normally, or last known good configuration. I've tried each of these options numerous times, and they all yield the same result. It spits out a list of system files, but instead of referring to the C: drive, it refers to multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1). It gets past that and the Windows XP splash screen appears for several minutes. Then the machine reboots itself and the entire process repeats all over again. When I attempt to boot off a floppy or CD drive, it fails to recognize C: a valid drive.
