Packard Bell Recovery Management 4 0l
Leana Eckes
first off hello all great site been a great help for the silly things i find go wrong with the software on my computers .
ok here we go .......
vista (hate it)
but a young friend of my daughters has asked me to sort out her computer for her . said i would then found out it is running vista .
right , vista stopped booting just a black screen , went through all the things i know (my brains run xp lol) i can under stand that .
tried the vista start up recovery but it locked at (start up repair) and ran for 2 days . ok i forgot it was running
tried most things but could not get to the command promt when i asked the unit to repair my computer it went strate to the start up repair screen again . so was left with what i thought was the only answer F11 .
but NO pressed this and just got a black screen and the hdd stopped .
2 days reading google posts and it seemed that if i got the computer to boot from a vista disk and repair it should be ok .
but no got a working copy of vista pro that needs to be activated .
but i can still not start the unit from F11 to recover the packard bell os .
can any one help
i can now get to the command prompt and checked the drives .
drives on the computer .
c: main hdd
d: recovery hdd
x: vista start disk
how the hell can i get the recovery drive to start .
or if i get the code for the fujitsu vista pro disk (off a unit from work) will this activate pro ????
any help will be great .
thanks
The problem isn't the hardware, because I have an old packard bell with the required port that turns on, but with the windows xp version that is on the hard disk, which after booting up the pc gives me the "Windows\system32\config\system missing or corrupt" error.
