My laptop is a Medion Erazer x6816, it has worked great for two years, and then today it decided not to boot. I did not install anything or changed anything yesterday, just used my computer as usual. I just put it on hibernation mode before going to bed, and this morning it wouldn't start, so I turned it off pressing the "on" button... and since then it has not worked.
When I start the laptop, it will tell me to choose between repair mode, or start windows normally. No matter what I choose, the same happens: A message and a white loading bar appears indicating that "windows is loading files" (Which usually does not appear when booting it) and then the usual green loading windows bar and the words "microsoft corporation" appear on screen, but just for a second as it suddenly becomes a completely black screen and does nothing else.
I have waited on this black screen for about 4 hours and it did not change. Nevertheless, about 2 or 3 times (I have tried booting it all over again about 30 times) I have got a black screen with a white computer mouse I can move around, but do nothing else.
If I boot from the recovery disk, or windows 7 disk, I get the same result. Windows is loading files, green bar for a sec, black screen and nothing else.
I unplugged every USB device, tried with no success "safe mode" and also "last working windows configuration", and I don't know what else to do.
I just burnt an Ubuntu DVD and booted from it without installing anything. My files are still there so I can access my windows files, which I believe means my hard drive stills works.
What else can I do now? Is there some software or something I use from Ubuntu so Windows 7 will work again?I fear I may have to format the hard drive, and even then I doubt the windows or recovery CD will work. It has never happened before. I even tried with a Windows XP cd, and it wouldn't boot. Anything related to Windows will result in a black screen of death. And I do know how to boot from a CD.
I don't know what else to do... Please, someone help me :(
