Hello computerforum.
that question may seem stupid but im not learnd computing really much
i dont want to make that thread really long and waste your time so i make simply.

a long time ago my laptop fell of from the desk because of 1 person and then it worked until i shut it down , last time i tried to turn it on then it started to reboot but i got the black screnn wheres running some sentence ( i think its doing some HDD checking or something ).theres appears black screen not blue one . computer IBM thinkpad T42 or something really similar to that .

after that when th computer checks the HDD orstuff then it goes to there http://www.computertroublesolver.com/images/Windows-XP-splash-screen.jpg

and then it starts all over

so my question to that is : whats broken in there (motherboard , HDD orwhat?)

my second question is that :

in that laptop i have some information what i really need so can i do the next



can i took a HDD from : IBM thinkpad T42
and but that HDD to my: HP Pavilion 4000
and then i could see that information from IBM thinkpad in HP pavilion ?





Thanks
Rynaldo.....
 
When you drop a computer anything could have got damaged, The Ram is the easiest to check first, since if the Ram sticks got knocked loose that can cause weird problems, the the Hard Drive is the second thing to check. I will put Laptop Drives in a USB enclosure to see how they work in another Computer.
 
Load Linux Ubuntu on that laptop and copy all your important data from that laptop on some external HDD and problem solved.

Besides your old laptop works properly and it's really easy to be fixed.I would fix it in one day ;)





Cheers!
 
It could be anything but I would guess that your HDD got damaged as the computer did not freeze or shut off on its own. You could try the HDD in another system as it will keep rebooting or hang the other system if it is damaged.

If it is your HDD you could probably still access it as a seperate (slave) drive on a PC, through a caddy or just replace the PCB as the hdd was obviously still accessible until you rebooted.
