    So Windows 7 doesnt boot... you dont see the windows 7 logo, it gets hung up before that point at a curser that freezes?

    *This can be caused by a number of reasons. Was this laptop protected well in storage or could it have taken a fall or blow to it. A laptop that was otherwise working fine, you put it away in storage and then turn it on one day and all of a sudden it wont boot to windows is usually the result of hard drive corruption or a damaged hard drive. Would you happen to have a Windows 7 repair disc made up for this laptop or can create one on another Windows 7 system for use on this laptop, or do you have the original installation media? If your lucky its only data corruption and not a damaged hard drive or laptop main board.
