BOOT FAILURE- INSPIRON 1501
Hello All,
I badly needed everyone's help.
Heres the thing, I was trying to use my laptop but I couldnt:
- It shows the DELL logo.
- Asks me how I want to start it ( last known good, start in safe mode etc, start windows normally)
- I chose start windows normally.
- It shows WinXP logo.
- A bluescreen appears only for half a second ( I am unable to see the error as it quickly goes off)
- Goes back to step 1-5, over and over again.
Can I have it fixed by myself or should I go and get it repaired in shops?
Will appreciate your help.

Sounds like a faulty hard drive. Press F12 at powerup, boot to the Dell diagnostics and run an extended test on it (NOT just the quick test).
