Have you been overclocking? Could be the consequences of a bad OC. Any recent hardware or driver installation? That could be the problem.

Is it possible for you to perform a system restore? If not, then your last resort would be to reinstall Windows.

Reset the cmos if you know how to do that.

If you don't know, check your motherboard manual. Most involve moving a jumper to the next pin along, waiting for 10 seconds and putting back.

Hmm, can you do a system restore?

Sounds to me like the hard drive is up the creek.

If you have precious files and folders on your HDD, then I would try taking it to your local computer store; see if they can repair it for you. Otherwise, I think it might be time to reinstall Windows!

Not that I know of. I think the only recovery CD that Windows uses is the Windows Recovery Environment. However, I am sure there is something out there.

Try booting onto a Linux Live CD; just to see if it boots into it. If it doesn't, then you may have a much more serious issue than what it seems.

Ok, hopefully they will sort it out for you.

Now you mention that, it seems logical. If you installed a corrupt version of Windows to start with, it would only be a matter of time before you noticed it.

True. Any deep scratches on the CD?
