My lap top took a huge dump on me and I say, no problem, I'll just pop the recovery disk in and drive on, right? wrong. I pop the recovery disk in and the screen tells me if I really, really want to lose all my information and I dutifully hit F1 (yes). The screen then asks me if I really, really want to continue or abort so I hit C (continue). Cool, it's doing its thing. Except, I keep getting the same screens popping up and i continually hit F1 and C over and over again. I call tech support (who tell me my years' worth of warranty just expired) and they tell me to buy a new recovery disc. Which I do. And it does the same damn thing. BTW, the file that seems to be missing/corrupted/FUBAR is a .dll file windows/32/ something or other. Any ideas where to go from here? |

Data recovery isn't the issue, I keep all my important files on two USB drives, so that's no biggie. I just need my laptop to boot up windows XP so I can use the daigned thing! I don't care if it reformats my hard drive and leaves me with the computer the way it was when I bought it--this would be preferable to the vegetative state it is now in! |
