Having a clear out in the Room Of Crap, and one of the items to go is an old laptop.

I booted it up normally, and Windows opened but the egg timer wotsit just span for hours. So, I did a hard restart and have booted it in safe mode. It's now stuck at the point it's loading (or may have just loaded) crcdisk.sys

Any ideas? I only want to see what's on it (nothing, I'm pretty sure) and wipe the hard drive.

Run Repair from a Windows DVD if you've got one or just boot it from a Linux live USB or DVD and have a shufty?
