startup repair cannot repair this computer automatically

Yesterday morning I was using my laptop (HP G60-445DX Notebook PC) and
it was working just fine. I shut it down normally, and that evening I
went to turn it on and startup repair ran and gave me this message:


Startup Repair cannot repair this computer automatically

details:

I've tried restoring to previous dates, etc, and i don't know what to
do!
Also, I don't exactly know what all of the details mean... I'd love to
be able to fix this issue myself instead of taking my computer somewhere
PLEASE HELP!

Do you normally hibernate the machine?

If so either reboot

or else shut down completely and restart

I've solved this before by loading the manufacturers repair.restore
disk and running the repair routine on that. I've also solved it by
rebooting and trying every possibility in the book (e.g. safe mode,
repair, normal boot, etc) until after about 10 tries is magically
fixed itself on a regular boot (go figure).

I have exactly the same problem signature description as posted by
BerLeigh. This is happening on my HP G60 laptop. I tried booting a few
times with no luck. I also don't have the original media. Can someone
give me a quick tutorial on booting in safe and/or repair mode?

Now, I've also been planning on upgrading to Windows 7. So, I'm
thinking that this may be the time. Can I perform an OS upgrade with the
computer in this defunct state? And, will I still have the data on my
PC?

Thanks in advance for any help!
