Do you have any critical data on there? If so, you should remove that drive and slave it to another computer to see if your data can be salvaged.
If not, or after you do the above, you should download the diagnostics (free) at the Samsung site. It will create a bootable floppy so Windows will not be an issue. can you give a try in safe mode?
