I m having a HCL laptop wid AMD TURION X2 T~60 1.6Ghz, 512 mb ram, Toshiba HDD.
Today i formated my c: drive which was having vista installed & i started installing XP from a bootable disk.
now, when d setup copied installation files & restarted, i saw an error (ERROR LOADING WINDOWS) & I restarted my lappy by holding down d power button & after 1 or 2 seconds again pressed to restart. This time i saw my Main screen displaying HCL & AMD TURION (CMOS STARTUP SCREEN) & den i can do nothing. When i press F2 to enter d CMOS den also i cant enter but d screen remains as it is. On pressing tab key, i can see information 488 Mb ram... Ok, mas slave atpai cd rom...ok, sec slave....not detected. HDD...OK. Status...ok but den dis screen remains. Even i cant run any bootable disk. So i cant understand wats d problem?
How to start my laptop? Widout CMOS, BOOTABLE DISK OR ANY RECOVERY CD.

i have heard dat when u press d power key & turn ur lappy directly den u have to wait 5 seconds before again pressing it to avoid HDD damage.
Is it s/w or hardware problem?
Desperately need help.

This might be a hardware problem. Take it to a service center and let the CMOS cleared by removing the battery or resetting the jumper.

Click to expand...

i tried many times by removing battery but no gain. Its a HCL PRODUCT so i have warranty only in India & as i stay outside India i will have to wait for some 5-6 months to go to India as dere is no other service center of HCL here.
Now if its a hardware problem then i just want to know whether it can cost too much?
If i give it here to any local laptop repairer then my warranty will be void?

if d HDD is damaged den can i connect any external USB HDD & have my problem solved? While CMOS page keeps loading, i can see in d information dat USB CONTROLLERS.... Status ok.

^^So u bumped an 1 year old thread for this :( .

I don't think u can repair ur lappy if u have this problem. Take it to a service center or take it to some lappy repairing shop.
