For XP:
1 -boot from the windows xp cd
2- get to the repair console and then run these 3 commands in this order:
chkdsk /R
fixboot
fixmbr
(The first command can take a serious amount of time.)
For Vista/Windows 7:
1 - boot from the windows vista/7 CD and choose the repair option.
(If you don't have a windows vista/7 CD then get this: http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/window...disc-download/)
2 - Let it perform the repair automatically. It will then reboot. If the computer boots nicely, you can remove the CD then.
3 - If the laptop still doesn't boot after that, then repeat the 1st step. The repair process will then automatically attempt to make a system restore instead.

Somebody changed the password or the router itself... Check to see if its the same router... Ask someone who could have changed the password if they can reveal it to you. If not, then you can press the reset button... WARNING: it will lose all the configs and revert to the defaults... if you're not used to configuring a router you shouldn't try that.

one problem. (it is an XP.) I bought the laptop from a radioshack. It had all the CD sleeves and i was gonna get the boot disk the other day and it wasnt in there. If i load it on a Vista boot disk will it load or no?

You can try. I have managed to repair a non-booting windows XP once, using the Windows Vista repair tool.
If that doesn't work, then use any windows XP CD that you can find (ask your friends), and I mean ANY (Professional, Home Edition, Media Center Edition, etc..) and follow the steps up there.
If you can't find one windows XP CD then just download a "pirated" version. It wouldn't be a problem since all you want to do is repairing a legitimate windows copy. They're to blame for not providing the CD.
