Hey, i am kinda afraid that i messed up my moms windows in her laptop. about 2 weeks ago, i borrowed it to go wardriving. i put my friends belkin wireless card in the laptop. i disabled the onboard wifi, enabled the belkin, installed the drivers, restarted, and i got the blue screen of death. i was going crazy. but i booted up in safe mode, done a system restore, and it worked fine for the rest of the day. 2 days later, i hooked up the laptop, got on MSN, checked my email, CF, and defragmended. i shut it down, and unplugged it from the power. well, it has been in the computer room for 3 days now, and i have been really busy. so last night, i turn it on. it says it wants to do a scan disk, so i was like ok. i went and got a drink, some food, and came back. it was off. i turned it back on, and after 2 passes of the xp bar on bootup, it flashed a blue screen of death for like less then a second, and then restarts. it boot up again, use last known good configuriton, and the same thing happends. I try in safe mode, it still does it. Its her laptop is for her work. she needs it and her files. what should i do??? its an HP, 17" wide screen, amd truion x2 at 2.0GHz, ati X200M 1GB of DDR. i really dont want to reformat. is there anything i could try?
