I have a Compaq Presario CQ56 for downloading music and stuff since using mediafire on a mac is a nightmare. My compaq uses windows 7 and won't boot up past the windows 7 welcome screen, which is pretty far into the booting process so it's almost there. Suggestions?

Do you have the windows 7 cd? Boot from it into recovery mode

Does it boot into safe mode (F5 during startup, or google 'windows 7 safe mode').

it's funny how people who want to do a system repair often access the recovery console. if you want to do a system repair you have to access the first option of installing windows, where it says install windows, then access the second option where it says repair windows.
it doesn't sound like that's what you want to do though. so yes select recovery console, look up the commands if you plan to use the command prompt online before going into it. if you can get into the bios, then press the correct key to access the boot menu(should be f2 or f12), if it's f2 then you are going to have to look in the bios settings for the boot menu, shouldn't be too hard to find. select cd rom as it will boot to your windows cd, then the rest should be easy enough. this your laptop?:

not that it should help, this is a windows problem, not a hard ware problem

Did you mess with any BIOS settings at all like turning AHCI to IDE?
