Thanks, this worked.

However. Another problem!!

Having sorted out the laptop and returned it to my friend she has had it for a week or so. She has returned it to me with a new problem.  Whenever the laptop is switxhed on it simply says:

'A disk error ocurred. Press ctrl alt del to restart.'

It won't even allow me to start in safe mode or boot setup. I'm pretty stuck with what to do so any help would be great.
