Reply To: Computer Done For?

Weird. Every “factory restore” disk I’ve ever used put the whole hard drive back where it was, regardless of what I’d done to it in the meantime.

I’d suggest doing some research on this error. Go slow (don’t do anything “on-the-fly”) and keep track of what you’re trying and the results. If you look at that page I linked, note that it’s not Microsoft (doesn’t mean it’s bad, but know it’s not official).
