I'm sorry but I stopped reading a few sentences in. On the off-chance that
you are not a troll and are really serious about wanting help, please go to
some of these links to see how to write a newsgroup post. I say this not to
offend you in any way but if you want people to take the time to try and
help you, you have to make it fairly easy and be intelligible.

You have one more problem... your post was totally unreadable.

Start by dividing it into paragraphs.

Since you are posting from India, we'll forgive spelling errors, but
PLEASE use proper capitalization and do NOT use your own
abbreviations.

Hi..

Thanks a lot for your replies. Thanks for taking time to read my pos
as well.

I am a student. I was pretty tensed while typing my problem and didn
bother to check if my post was readable or not.

My laptop stopped working suddenly due to errors like - "System file
corrupted", "Boot error", "Windows explorer not working" etc. I trie
"Start-up repair" but it didnt help. There are no system restore point
available as well

I have never heard of those countries(Pakistam,Indostan), where did you
learn your Geography? Is it by any chance in Polond?(as you would call it).
You idiot, learn your Geography and post proper information.

It is understandable that you were upset. This post is quite readable; thank
you for your efforts. Unfortunately, you still aren't giving us enough
information to get focused help. Please take the time to read the
information at these links to see what details you need to include in your
next post:

http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Usenet
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/555375 - How to Ask a Question

The First Question Of Troubleshooting: If the problem is new, what changed
between the time things worked and the time they didn't?

The Second Question of Windows Troubleshooting: what is the malware/virus
status of the machine? If you think it is clean, what programs (and
versions) did you use to determine this?

Be sure the computer is clean:

Offhand, it sounds like you have hardware failure, possibly your hard drive
or your RAM (memory). However, without more specific details from you it is
impossible to be sure.

If you can't do the work yourself (and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea), take the machine to a professional computer repair
shop (not your local equivalent of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad).

I guess you will have to either:
a) restore your laptop from backup if you have one or
b) rebuild your OS from recovery media (partition or DVD) following
manufacturer's instructions.

Do you have data on the computer that you need? If so, will it boot
and run long enough to get the data off? If so, I would make that your
first priority. If you have data on there and it won't boot, you can
probably remove the hard drive and attach it using an external adaptor
or install it in a desktop with an adaptor to read the data from it.

My WAG is that you have a hardware problem. I'd got for a full reload
from the restore disks and see where you end up. Even if you can
correct what's wrong now via software, I'd be concerned about
stability. Most full restores will erase the disk, so think about your
data first.

I have a gut feeling you won't make it through the restore though.
You'd have to have a lot of unusual software damage to get where you
are now without hardware issues. More likely there's a hardware
problem (disk, mobo>disk) causing the problems you are seeing.
