| 853421 | 2010-01-29 07:30:00 | I have my mum and dad in blenheim and me stuck in wellington. it looks like the hard drive has died. they have data backed-up. they do have an XP install disk. what is needed is some one who can replace the drive and do a XP install. once the system is running I can do remote assist to restore data, install random apps and such. anyone up for the job?? |

| 853425 | 2010-01-29 08:25:00 | Tried talking them through the XP install over the phone? Shouldn't be too hard. | baabits (15242) | ||
| 853426 | 2010-01-29 08:42:00 | Tried talking them through the XP install over the phone? Shouldn't be too hard. we are talking about people who have issues using email. an XP install may be pushing them too far. as for network drivers.... that and the drive will need to be replaced. |

| 853427 | 2010-01-29 08:50:00 | I am sure they can get a local tech from a shop, but they are the kind of non-tech people that can get ripped off. | robsonde (120) | ||
| 853428 | 2010-01-29 18:43:00 | Best if they ask around neighbours etc to see who the recommended tech is in Blenheim. | pctek (84) | ||
