Hi guys, HELP!

My boss's laptop wouldn't start. It stops at blue screen with BAD_SYSTEM_CONFIG_INFO message.

When I tried to start it at Safe Mode, it stops when loading BTHIDbus.sys, then goes to the blue screen.

When I put the Toshiba XP Disc Recovery, it starts with a warning that hard drive will be formatted (no recovery tools whatsoever).

So now,
It won't start because it has corrupt configuration
I can't fix the corrupt config because it won't start

Can anyone advise where to begin? Taking it to a pro will only result in "We charge you this much to format it and reinstall windows"

Thanks in advance.
