UPDATE:

last weekend i was home in NJ and came across the orignal recovery disk for this laptop for 2005. So today i took the time to do a full system restore/recovery. It formatted the HDD. Prior to doing this, i used a hard drive dock and ran the HDD through my new laptop in order to check for any important files id want/need and i backed them up on my external HDD. After the system recovery, the old Laptop now seems to be working fine. Apparently it seems I had a virus that affected the boot sector of the original operating system. I will be using the old laptop now as a back-up/automotive/tuning laptop.
