re: Clarify your situation and perhaps more knowledge will arise. I've got a Compaq Presario 2701T laptop purchased @1.5 years ago from CompUSA.
I'm running Windows XP Pro Edition and the OS installed with the system was XP Home Edtion. Symptoms: 1) Whirring sound (like a fan) when running which wasn't the case when things were fine and beautiful. The sound will sometimes kick into high gear and that is the system's signal that it is about to crash. 2) Sometimes the system boots and sometimes it doesn't. If it fails, I'll get the XP version of the blue screen of death. (The sceen isn't blue but the text which indicates the crash address and other diagnostic info is.) 3) If it manages to boot successfully, several system failure errors are generated. Sometimes that's eough to halt the system, sometimes not. 4) If I can proceed at all (which lately is not the case) then evetually the whirring noise gets loud enough and then BOOM. Hope that helps and actually the commentary on experience w/ various stores is helpful. If the disk really has crashed then I would, of course, love to recover as much as possible. However, it's not absolutely mandatory and any recovery process costing significant $$s (say anything beyond $10) will probably get a pass from me.)
