hello i had the very same problem and it did it to me three times in the last 5 weeks and the only way your goin to get it fixed is get a windows o.s. disk and format the hard drive and reinstall windows butt with out the disk you cant do any thing as thay say your up shits creek with out a paddle unless ya get a o.s. disk and ya want the full version o.s. unless ya already have a older windows version then ya can just get the windows upgrade virson
