    This laptop runs win7, after the logo screen I am getting the error code message so it won't boot to windows and pressing F8 to run a recovery is not working, I can go to the BIOS. I tried Knoppix and it loads fine but it won't let me reload the OS from a disc so I am guessing it's a hard drive issue? Is there anything I can try to access the HDD or to know 100% that it's a HDD issue before I should go buy another HDD?

    Won't boot so you can't even do a system restore. I did a google search on that error code and there seems to be lots of reasons for it but Hard Drive problems shows up most often. Hope you had your data backed up. I know it's going to be hard to do but looks like a new drive for you and complete reinstall of OS.
