Thanks everybody for the help. I tried to take the battery out then
put it back to restart but it did not work.
Since my laptop cannot start up, I am wondering if I can take the hard
disk drive of the laptop out and connect it to my desktop as a slaver.
Then I use the partition program and format program available in my
desktop to re-format the latop's hard disk drive.
Do you think this approach might work?
Thanks
