Hi everyone,
Thanks for your continued efforts....
My uncle ( a techie by trade ) came over this morning with an XP installation disc and he said there was nothing he could do.
The picture that gamerman4 posted, I can see that screen.
My computer never came with a Vista installation disc, only an Upgrade thing that I never used.
Overall, I am between a rock and a hard place. I guess my options are
1) Buy a new hard drive, get someone (my uncle) to install it.
2) Bring the whole comp to a comp repair place.
3) Buy a brand new computer.
If I buy a hard drive and something else is broken, that's a waste of money.
I'm relatively tight on cash, and naturally this all has to coincide with when I need my computer the most, for school work.
Any more suggestions, anyone? I heard about something called the Ultimate Boot Disc. What is it?? Will it work??
