My laptop is a Sony Vaio Z series. It is 4 years old now and out ofwarranty. It has a solid state hard drive, and runs Windows 7 Pro. Also Windows7 came preinstalled on the computer so I dont have a disk to reinstall. I also don't want to do something that will erase my hard drive because my back up copy is about a year old.
Ican turn on the laptop, but it will not boot up. It just keeps going incircles, trying to start up, running disk checks, and doing startup repair.Every time I turn it on I get a screen, I dont know what it means, but I haveattached a photo of it. Also, when it runs startup repair itshows a root cause of Boot configuration is corrupt. Im trying to figure outif this is a Windows 7 software error, or a hardware failure causing a softwareerror.
Please look at the attached photo and help me figure out what is wrong. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
