Hello,
I have a Gateway laptop, M-Series, it runs Windows Vista premium. I went to turn it on yesterday and it wouldnt. Well, it turns on, but wont boot up. It will bring up the boot menu the "select for normal start, or the recovery start". After i select an option, it brings up the little scrolling load bar at the bottom and then just stays there, if i select normal start. If i choose the recover start so it will fix itself, then it just goes to a black screen and wont do anything else. I hear the computer running, it just wont boot up.
