Laptop gets stuck at Starting Windows sign (Win7)
Boggin:
How did you manage to run a chkdsk if it won't boot up to anything ?

Well I ran chkdsk via Hirens BootCD (ran it on the 3 partitions of that laptop). Unless I'm misunderstanding something, I believe the chkdsk was checking that laptop's hdd.
Boggin:
I wasn't sure if you had created that disk.
Did the chkdsk report any KBs in bad sectors ?
Google had nothing on those bad block errors but I would think they are the reason for your problem - Google has more info on the 0F00 errors with the 133C being the most telling.
BTW - What are you using to download and post on ?

Nope. At this point I think it's just my hdd is failing/failed and needs a replacement.

My main current laptop. The one I'm trying to fix broke down last year and I never really bothered since it's quite low spec, but now was wondering if I could get it fixed rather than throw it all away. I had a warranty on it back then, but now the warranty's expired so that doesn't leave me with many options.
Boggin:
Perhaps it would have been better to get it fixed while it was under warranty.
Providing you can image it and the system files aren't damaged, then you should be able to load that onto a new HDD.
Alternatively, you can buy a set of recovery disks from the computer vendor to factory reset it after replacing the HDD and given the laptop's age, it would still be a viable cost effective repair.
