I turned the laptop on, got a black screen with nothing on it and then it went to the start windows, start windows with an earlier configuration along with all the safe mode options, nothing worked. So, I put in the recovery disk, and chose the recovery option, got nearly done with that and then it said a file was missing on a black screen and then shortly after that, Id get the blue screen. So I try reformatting my hard drive with the recovery disk and that was a failure and it said that quite a few setup files were missing and now I get so now I turn my I get the "NTLDR message saying I need to hit ctrl, alt, del" and nothing happens when I do that. When I was able to run a diagnostics on the HDD all I would get is a FAIL everytime. Is this a sign of a motherboard failure, a hard drive failure, or what do you think?

your diagnostics disk already called your hd failure. otherwise, i'd question your ram too
