| 857933 | 2010-02-13 06:43:00 | what should i do if the windows disk doesn't work i haven't tested it yet as someone else is using the PC and has so kindly let me write this message also i made many system restores before the laptop crashed is it possible to activate the most recent one using my bootable cd? | smithinator (15240) | ||
| 857934 | 2010-02-13 06:47:00 | Have you tried to restore it from the HDD recovery partition? What brand is your laptop? | bk T (215) | ||
| 857935 | 2010-02-13 06:51:00 | Did you try to access it in safe mode or last known config... (Which hardly ever works) but it's worth a try. Seems strange that your Vista DVD won't work... Like Wainui says You need to try it in another computer. Also are you sure there isn't a hidden recovery partition? Most notebook manufactures these days have out-of-box images ready to go. |

| 857936 | 2010-02-13 07:04:00 | no it doesn't have an inbuilt recovery it is an older laptop though it is not a dinosaur :D, it is made by arche in auckland, also i tried starting it in all the safe modes etc but still nothing. what i was wondering is i found a file under recovery while i was in ubuntu rescuing files and i was wondering if i could click it and see if it would try to restore the setting/registry so that it would undo the error | smithinator (15240) | ||
| 857937 | 2010-02-13 07:42:00 | when i hold down the power button it just goes to sleep, ill check to see if it works nowUnder the power settings will be the options to change what happens when the power button is held down -thats where it needs to be changed. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 857938 | 2010-02-13 07:48:00 | no it doesn't have an inbuilt recovery it is an older laptop though it is not a dinosaur :D, it is made by arche in Auckland I didn't know Arche had the ability to manufacture Notebooks.... if i could click it and see if it would try to restore the setting/registry so that it would undo the error I extremely doubt it. You can download a Vista Recovery disk that will give you advanced boot options, and access a system restore point, if it has a valid one. You can also use this disc to do a start up repair. |
