    Hi there m8. When you got the notebook did you make a recovery disc ???

    If so then following instructions at link below to restore system to factory settings or repair the operating system.

    If you didnt make a recovery cd, then at the link below page down until you see this.
    Creating the recovery discs from the Command Prompt
    Use the following steps to create a Recovery CD set without starting Windows:

    Then follow the instructions to make a recovery disc.

        If its only 2 weeks old and it has a bootup problem send it back to where it came from and demand a new one !!! even if you get it up and running properly it may have a faulty harddrive and you'll be back 2 square one in a couple of weeks HP laptops are infamous for having dodgy sata drives in them do yourself a favour and send it back

            what you find hp will do is just send you a new HDD out if you are confident of installing one yourself I sold HP lappys in my shop for a while and when anything went wrong with HDD they just sent me out new one with pre paid courier to send old one back.

            give them a phone
