@DrewDad,
Man I just came back from best buy to fix some corrupted file. The laptop fell of my lap during boot up, and the battery popped out, and the whole thing shut down in the middle of the windows loading screen.
The laptop wouldn't boot, it would just go to the booting loading page and shutdown and restart (this repeated until you manually shut the thing down)
These new laptops don't come with the original operating system disk, so I called Microsoft, and they said you'd have to buy one.... again! (Typical of them)
I went to Best Buy told them to run a check disk to segment the hard drive for corrupted files, and replace it, a simple command, and they charged $50. Better than buying the entire Operating System for repair, ~$300.
But guess what, I got the laptop back, and they didn't take out the check disk/ CD.... Suckers!
I shouldn't be gloating, but geek squad is just a rip off who'll charge heinous amounts of money for simple solutions.
