Hey guys

A few weeks ago work finally got me the laptop I had been winging for. I have been wanting this for months and was told to take care of it. Well it's dead...

I turn it on, and I chose 'continue without scanning' and it just sits on the booting page with the Windows picture, the slide is going along but it just sits there untill the battery dies.

So I choose 'startup repair' and it says the following. 'Windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer.' ' The error can be caused by unpluging a removeable device.'

STATUS: 0xc00000e9
INFO: An unexpected I/O error has occurred

I have been having issues with my webcam and the finger print loggin system, did this kill it? I was running lots of programs (Yahoo Messenger/Explorer/work price book/work application/word/powerpoint/iTunes) while it happened. It froze so I held in the turn on button and yeah now it will not load. I've searched the web but they are all useless and speak computer jargon. Can I fix it myself or will I have to confront my bosses on Monday? It's under warrently and all (one month old) but I'm trying to fix it before biting the bullet.

It's a HP PavilionEntertainment PV 64bit Windows Ultimate Vista.

Any help would be muchly appreciated. Thanks guys...
