| 626619 | 2008-01-02 03:39:00 | Hey sup guys . I was just wondering if anyone could solve this problem I have when I try formatting my laptop . I have an LG E500 . I got it just this year . Intel Core2Duo T5450 @ 1 . 66GHz Mobile Intel 965 Express Chipset Family (x3100) Samsung 160GB HD 2GB RAM Vista Home Premium 32bit To begin, I seted my bios so that the Vista CD booted through the CD/DVD Drive and then saved changes . Laptop rebooted . Now, this screen appears . . . photobucket . com/albums/v298/tig3r8omb/GFX/Image1 . gif" target="_blank">img . photobucket . com Followed with this scree . . . photobucket . com/albums/v298/tig3r8omb/GFX/Image2 . gif" target="_blank">img . photobucket . com However, this is when the problem occurs . Im aware that a screen where I choose the language is supposed to appear, but it doesnt . The screen after the screen above stays black and nothing after it . I read that it takes awhile sometimes, however I went to bed and left it on over night thinking it might be loading, but when I woke up . . It remained the same black screen . so . . well? Im not sure how to continue from here . If anyone has some suggestions . . I'd be really thankful . Happy New Years! |

| 626624 | 2008-01-02 04:52:00 | Hmm . . Actually Im 100% sure on that one . . How do I check if it do or not? and, just out of curiosity . How would it effect the process of formatting? Thanks so far for the replies, Im excited to get this solved . :] |

| 626625 | 2008-01-02 04:57:00 | Does it say press a key, like Ctrl-F10 or something. When u reboot?? On the post screen? Was there another letter in my computer, besides C?? Called Restore or something? |

| 626626 | 2008-01-02 05:08:00 | Hmm not that Im aware of, Just really F2 to get into BIOs . In "My Computer" there is only the C: Drive . |

| 626627 | 2008-01-02 05:11:00 | The laptop may have a hidden recovery Partition . But just in case it doesn't, When you formatted the Laptop, was the Vista DVD one supplied with the Laptop, along with other CD's /DVD's or a Vista DVD you got from some place else . |

| 626628 | 2008-01-02 05:16:00 | You know what actually . . It may have a hidden partition because my hard drive is a 160GB however the C: drive says that it has a maximum amound of 148GB? And the Vista CD I have now is the CD that came with the Laptop called "LG Recovery Center DVD (32 Bit)" |
