Can only boot into Windows using Last known good configuration

[ben_j_davis]

Hi,

About a week ago my netbook decided that it wasn't going to boot into Windows any more. The hard drive light now remains on 100% of the time (obviously grinding away trying to do something.

At the moment only booting with Last Know Good Configuration works. I've tried a system restore, running various virus and spyware scans, large defrags etc but nothing works.

It all started when I did a couple of shut-downs mid windows load.

F8 and 'repair' system also didn't work.

Any suggestions? I've got a Asus Aspire D255 - Intel Atom N450, 2GB ram running Window 7 Starter and Ubuntu 10.10. Windows was pre-installed so I don't have a disk.


Regards,
Ben

I had tried the scannow first but there didn't seem to be any errors.

I think the problem is being caused by me; quite often a run for the train and I probably shake the HD quite a bit, no wonder it has start-up problems
