Daughter's laptop (Compaq) failed to start - 2 choices, Launch Startup Repair or Start Windows Normally. Start Windows Normally just looped back to the same message.
Launch Startup Repair brings up a nice blue screen and...nothing. Or seemingly nothing.
You have to wait for about 30 minutes and then the Startup Repair box comes up and off it goes Searching for Problems. It's been at it for 40 minutes so far...
