I don't think i can help you just yet but it seems like your system is stuck in the booting process. I know, it's an obvious remark.
What was the last thing you did before this happened? Any recent viruses? When you boot does it pass the BIOS? Are there any beeping sounds? |

If you see the BIOS, we need to check for hardware failure:

If you're not even getting a BIOS display and no beep codes (beeping coming from the computer after powering on), it sounds like you may have a bad motherboard. Unfortunately, diagnosing/repairing laptops are a huge pain compared to a desktop. Honestly, it may not be worth your time and effort. If your computer is still under a manufacturer's warranty, obviously they'd repair it for you.

Aside from that, you said you put in the disk... what disk did you put in? A hard disk, a cd? Secondly, go here and download drive fitness test cd image and burn to a disc. You should put that disc in your computer then restart the computer. Enter the BIOS make sure the boot order involves booting from the cdrom before the hdd, then save and exit. When it boots up, it should boot straight to dft. You can use dft to test the hdd. This will not fix the problem, but instead tells you what the problem is or isn't so we can proceed. |

I didn't have time to read any of the replies so excuse me if this is repeat:
I had the same problem one time when absolutly everything got wiped off my hard drive for some reason. Do you have any kind of bootup CD or something to boot DOS and see if anything is left on the hard drive? |
