(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I have an HP Pavilion dv6 running windows 7. I was playing cod waw then I stopped playing and rebooted. I got the HP logo then after that it hangs on the underscore with the black background. I can access the BIOS and stuff, all except for safe mode, as when I press F8 it doesn't work. I'm doing a hard disk test and I don't want to reinstall windows. I also do no have access to my cd eight now because I'm on vacation in California (1337 note, I saw Hutch in LA!). I do have access to 3 other computers because I have cousins here. I'm typing this on my iPhone so as you can imagine it took a while. Anyway, I had nothing plugged in except my wired mouse. I unplugged it and tried booting and it didn't work. I unplugged the charger tried booting, took outthe battery etc. I'm leaving my cousins house at about 12:00 pm PST. Im gonna shower so hopefully I get some replies. I don't want to be on a plane for 5 hours and 30 minutes flying back to Pennsylvania doing nothing.

Thanks

Hmmm strange? maybe reinstall windows? I know it sucks but yeah.

Don't have the CDs

Try booting into safe mode by doing a forced recovery... (Turn it off a couple of seconds into boot)

Now, I doubt that will work so you could re-download windows... and try repairing it! :y: Here is Win7 Ultimate Torrent, you could make a Bootable USB or Burn a CD from another computer?! =D

F8 won't wrk and I can't get it to ask me to boot into safe mode. One question, what's demonoid?

I think your HDD crashed try pressing F12 or idk which one its is and run a HDD test if its working the way it should.

I was, but I had to leave so I'll do it in the airport or plane.

Alright let me check which button it is so you wont look lost when you doing it lol

Edit: well try restarting your computer and continuously keep pressing F2 then run s test and or if your GB's of your HDD show then your HDD is ok the screen must look like this one You must login or register to view this content.

I don't have an advanced tab.





EDIT: I'm out of rep sorry

Why can't you access the boot devices by pressing F8? If you the boot device got changed it obviously wont detect Windows.
