    HOLD f8 key for ten seconds,after turning on ,pc ,
    use arrow,up ,down,keys,,
    choose last good config, or directory service restore.
    You may have a virus, some boot files missing.
    safe mode menu should appear.
    enter key=confirm menu choice,eg dos ,vga mode etc
    safe mode loads windows,bypasses driver files.
    if safe mode doesnt load you can try r repair mode,from windows os cd,
    or reinstall os.
    does the hardrive drive show up in bootup, eg seagate 370t 200gig
