Sarah,

Try booting in safe mode. Press the F8 key as your pc boots to get to the selection screen.

If you are able to get into safe mode, do a system restore to a point before you had this problem. (Start > programs > accessories > system tools > system restore > "restore my computer to an earlier time"

Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want...

Hi,
I got this problem last time.Nothing to do with the file deletion. It caused by faulty harddisk/connector.You can send back your notebook to the service center and ask them to check for you.
