16846	2001-08-11 15:31:00	I have recently bought a new desktop woth an unpartioned 20 GB hard-drive. ASUS A&VL-VM SOCKET A. Disapointed with the lack of partitions I defragmented and surface scanned the HD, then bached-up the HD using Hewlett Packard disaster recovery software. I then used FDISK to partition the HD. I I formatted the HD and ran sys as instructed, however was unable to recover my system. On Reading the literature more closely I had to reformat my HD to at least the same size as before I created the disaster recovery disk. I then repartitioned the disk to 1 partion and reformatted the disk, still no luck. I cannot seem to access the bios settings, nor do I have any way to install the CD-ROM. I have another PC connected to the net. I have a Window ME recovery CD, MS-DOS 6 and window 3.11 floppy disks. Any help would be appreciated	Guest (0)

To access bios try tapping the f1 key or del key or ctrl+alt+esc when booting. Is your computer a name brand such as compaq or Hp or similar? cheers steve	Guest (0)
