Laptop gets stuck at Starting Windows sign (Win7)

Boggin:
Give me a couple of mins while I check out those errors.

Boggin:
From the couple I've checked so far, they would seem to point to a failing HDD.

Try the Hiren's Boot Disk Test Disk feature for confirmation, but I think that contacting Dell Support will confirm.

You can Google for their support page from your location as they have different locale support sites

Thank you, will do. Appreciate the help.

Boggin:
Give us an update when you can.

I ran chkdsk, no problems, there were some errors but passed everything without a problem.

Then I ran Victoria 4.46b (HDD info/test programme) and got 6 warnings and 4 errors:

- Warning! Block start at 26913024 - 234ms
- Block 96378624 Error: ABRT
- Block 96384000 Error: ABRT
- Block 129252864 Error: ABRT
- Block 129263616 Error: ABRT
- Warning! Block start at 129265152 = 219ms
- Warning! Block start at 129266944 = 234ms
- Warning! Block start at 129274368 = 235ms
- Warning! Block start at 129282816 = 219ms

I'm going to google around a bit and see what this mean and how (if) I can fix it. If you know, do let me know.

I then ran Defraggler and everything was fine except the following:

Reallocated Sectors Count - Real Value (561) - Current (129) - Worst (129) - Threshold (140) - Raw Value (0x000000000231)
