You don't say what OS you're running; I assume some version of Windows? If you're able to use the boot menu to get in to the OS you may want to run some disk repairs.

I don't know how to do what you asked.

But this sounds like a BIOS issue. Have you tried resetting the BIOS to default startup settings? It might be called "Failsafe Startup" or something similar. This may be an option in the BIOS menu, depends on the make; or you may have to open the case and reset a jumper (removing the CMOS battery for a minute works too).

Hope this helps!
