Ok, it's been almost a year since I have touched my computer..I got back to it and it is a disaster.

Start it up...All things seems good. Then a choice before windows usualls starts to load. To you want to start up using the Disc or CD? If I choose the Boot disc, it will start to load windows, everything normal. Then it freezes.

If I choose the CD, I can choose to reinstall windows, or start up with using or not using the CD. Either way, I get into MSDOS, where no command promts I know work.


I know you will probably need more info to help..But any one can guess what is wrong?

your best bet is to either find a recovery disk...or use the code provided by "Jonneh" if that doesnt work then er well...im not sure...a friend of mine had the same problem with his computer, and was able to fix it using msdos promts... good luck :)
