I have a compaq laptop running vista which refuses to boot. On normal startup it gets to the windows loading bars which appears to finish, but the hangs permanently on a black screen. Trying to boot in safe mode it starts loading windows files but gets stuck at crcdisk.sys

The only trigger I can think of for this problem is the battery died during normal use, and the problem seemed to start after that.

any ideas?
