sometimes the company that sold the laptop, will put a recovery partition onto the hard drive, all you have to do if you have the recovery partition, is when the computer is booting up, repeatedly press f1, f2, or f10... or delete.. this will boot up the recovery partition, hopefully.

this is drastic but efective. save all your data on a spare hard disk and conect your hard drive into another pc maybe a friends and using that pc format the hard drive and reinstall xp or vista then put you data back on
