Mr. Laptop,
I have moved this post to the proper form. I have also locked your all caps duplicate post in this form.
0x000000A1, This is usually a driver problem but can also be the hard drive need to have a check disk run on it.
Can you boot into safe?
Reboot in to Safe mode:
Restart Windows after you see the BIOS screen and before Windows starts to load.
Start tapping the F8 key. The Windows Advanced Options Menu appears.
Use the Arrow key to ensure that the Safe Mode option is selected.
Press Enter. The computer then begins to start in Safe mode.
Do you have your windows install cd/dvd?
