Hey everyone,

My girlfriends computer is of the frightening sort right now. She was burning a CD, and the disc didn't finish, and displayed an error. She shut down all the programs, and reboot the computer, but all of a sudden the computer wouldn't reboot, but flashed a sony splash screen, and then it looks as if a television station went off the air. It continues to do this as I type this. She doesn't want to do a system recovery, and I don't even know if that would work because I have a sneaking suspicion it's a hdd failure.

It won't even boot to the bios nor will it boot to safe mode.

I'm outta ideas, you got any?

She's got a sony vaio.
 
Take the HD out, replace it with a new HD, install Windows from scratch, and then install the old HD as slave to retrieve data.
