    Hard drive is corrupt.
    Boot up from the boot cd and run chkdsk.

    As TechieEddie said, it sounds like the hard drive is corrupt. If you download the bootbale CD from the links he provided and boot up your laptop using it you should then be in a position to run chkdsk on it to hopefully find and fix any boot records on your hard drive
