HP Pavilion dv6000 won't load vista

Where in your area Richard, is recovery of data from a HD by a service
affordable for a college student with average funds for a college student?

How much is the fee on average? Many of the services I've talked to want a
minimum of $1600.

How many college students do you know who have that kind of discretionary
money?

Ok, my Gf is having the same sorta issue on her HP pavilion dv6000. But
you guys seem to keep talking about the HDD... I dont know about you but
I can load up safe mode in either comand prompt or /w networking. HDD
still there, all data is fine. If you can access safe mode i recommend
it for backing up your shtuff before bringing it to a "pro". Ive lost
data because idiot "pros" just decide to do a complete reinstall....
morons!

So here's my theory. Video card issue. Although, i did read something
about it being a CPU issue, but maybe the problem differs with the users
and forum threads ive seen about this.

Another theory..... which isnt much of a theory its more a
statement.... VISTA IS HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DELETE IT NOW AND BURN
THE CD/DVD IN A RITUAL, CLEANING YOUR SOULS!!!!! either that, and/or HP
Pavillion is the problem with its cheap HP parts. Thank god for
warrenty.

Anyways, I think the guys earlier saying to go to a "pro" is the best
solution, BUT, I recommend that you enter safe-mode, back your data up
and go to a pro. or even reinstall windows first(after backup) THEN go
to a "pro" if that fails. Just back up first >.< I lost 80gig of music i
was recording over 13 years after bringing my PC to a shop. Lucky I
recovered it.....
