and im the idiot who threw away the diagnostic disc and whatever came at first when i bought the laptop

ill try that later to see if it works duck..:thumbup:

 

aiite..

and :nono: throwing away stuff that came w/it..

 

Start Menu > Accessories > System Tools > System Recover

Unless you turned that off it will restore you back to last backup, I believe XP stores last config like weekly or something try that :-/

 

yeh...i owned myself :happysad:

 

press f10 (i think) when your computer is booting up and choose safe mode w/ command prompt

if that doesn't work press the reboot button on your computer when the XP flash screen comes up, when it comes up again you shoudl be able to choose safe mode w/ command prompt

 

you have a DOS emulator

start/run/command.exe

 

i did the restore...it wont work...

ill try the other things mentioned later

 

new update

the drive is there...but it doesnt show up on "my computer"
how do i add it in there???
