Hello.

A friend gave me their laptop to fix, it doesnt boot up. Just BSODs then reboots.

Tried safe mode, nope. Tried recovery option, just reboots.

Tried connecting the drive to a working PC as a slave and Windows either wont boot or takes ages to come up (from the working PC main drive) then it wont see the other drive.

Tried an Ubuntu live CD/USB and it sees the drive and I can copy data from it but dont know how to fix it (tried NTFSTools, didnt help).

So any ideas how I can get the thing up and running so I can at least use the Media Creator utility to make the Windows 7 install DVDs that my friend DIDNT bother to do in the first place LOL.

Many thanks

Rik
