Stuck at the Microsoft Vista loading screen.
After accidently breaking the screen of my Dell inspiron 1525 (with Vista), i attempted to put it into an external monitor. In doing so i had to turn it on and off several times before finding the correct function to switch the power into the external monitor. Now when i turn the laptop on i get to a Windows error recovery with two options Launch Start up repair and Start windows normally. On the option of Launch Start up repair, i end up with the loading screen after 20 seconds or so, it will go to a blank screen then after maybe 20-30minutes a cursor will appear, after than nothing will change. When choosing the 'Start windows normally' option i get the loading screen but the bar will keep going and never stop.
I should be able to fix this by inserting a Vista Disk, however either i've lost the disk or i didn't get one with purchase of the laptop, is there anyway i can fix this without sending it off to dell for repairs or purchasing vista a second time?
Thank you.
