Question

please please please someone help me sort my computer out...are you ready for this.....im using xp and i have messed up the booting settings, im getting ; start up error secondry disk fail , im really struggling here please be patient with me ... does anyone know how to put this right please, its really frustrating me , thankyou

Answer 1

right first dont listen to any of these jokers who take the mick as your a woman,just calm down and follow what i say,it would be a good idea if you can print this out
right what i want you to do is start up the pc and gently tap the f8 key.this will take you into safe mode,now what you are looking for is the system restore option(it will be at the bottom),system restore is normally done in windows desktop but this is very handy when that is not possible
right once you have system restore you need to restore your p.c to a time prior to the boot failure,around 2 days before if possible
right start the restore process,and once it is complete your p.c should be fine as what restore does is snapshot the system(settings and programs) so in a case like this you can restore it to a working state
if that dosent work then e-mail me and i will let you know another method to fix this ,but this is the easiest to start
good luck

Answer 2

Why don't you take your computer in to the nearest Best Buy/Geek Squad store and have them take a look at it. It may cost you some money, but at least your PC will be fixed and working again.

Answer 3

Havent got a clue what you have done.
But when I goof up and mess things up on my computer I use system restore.
Go into controll pannel and then system.
it should be there and back date your comp to an earlier date, then everything should be fine.
Hope it works chuck...

Answer 4

I would try system restore. If that doesn't work then u need to find a repair shop. I wish u luck pc's can be so frustrating.

Answer 5

You need someone hands on to sort that out. It's too complicated to explain if you don't know what you're doing. Go and ask someone pale with glasses on.

Answer 6

i think your computer is not reading your hard drive...switch it on and go into the bios (usually you have to press delete or F2 to enter the Bios setup)........Look for the hard drive auto detection and run this............if this does not work or you do not find it search for help topics on how to run auto detection on your computer from the manufacturer..........


hope you are answered if not feel free to ask again
