Just going by whats in the thread so dar i doubt the comp will ever be "as good as knew" even if you manage to get around the current issue. |

| 305373 | 2004-12-19 01:35:00 | Where do you live, I'm sure someone can help you reformat it if you have all the correct CD's and drivers. And I'm sure they would be cheaper than forking out $200 to have it setup again. :badpc: | Odin (227) | ||

| 305375 | 2004-12-19 02:06:00 | Pop a boot disk in the floppy drive the reboot, it may only be disabled to windows. | Murray P (44) | ||
| 305376 | 2004-12-19 02:12:00 | Check in the BIOS first, that the boot sequence is set to floppy 1st - then CD. Bye |

| 305377 | 2004-12-19 05:25:00 | You could of course reformat, and reinstall everything your self.... plenty of people here to help out, or books from the library... Better yet, find those responsible, and make them do it!!! *just saw odens post* Whaaaa? Who charges $200 to do that> Jeeez, I'm in the wrong biz. I thought most comp shops did it for less than $50! Yeah, you local? Somebody here may be able to help out |
