I need tech support ffs >_>
Please help, who here is really good with restoring difficulties for laptops and such.
#2
What difficulties.
#3
YES DEFY!

Anyways I get the BSOD every time i boot up.
I get Safe Mode
Safe mod with networking.
etc.
etc.
etc.
Start windows normally.

All of them give me BSOD.
And reboot a never ending process.
I tried to do a system restore ( Pressing F3 ) And it quits while trying to start it.,
It says
( Please don't press any key while this is in progress )
Theres no bar or anything.
Stays there for like 5 mins and does nothing.
Laptop reboots.
Restarts total process.
Any idea what i can do?
I tried calling some tech company they didn't know ):

Sounds like some system32 files are missing.

Best bet is to do a full system format.
#5
I say you should give up on laptops.
Let me look/think of something.

I tried man.
But theres no CD Drive.
And I have no External USB CD Drive to use the disc that came with it in.


Defy: Thanks, you helped me with this same laptop previously.
I hope you can be my savior again D=

Sounds like a damaged boot sector. You might need to zero that drive completely.

Thats how you can damage it, your the infamous Martin.
But anyway Torians statement sounds the best. So Ill give you some quick advice quickly grab a hammer and smash, then stay away from laptops.

Zeroing a drive is pretty much like a format, only difference is instead of prepping the 1 to be overwritten with another file, zeroing does exactly what it says, it completely changes all of your drives 1s to 0s. 1s representing the data on your computer. Here's a link detailing how to zero a drive. So wait, you said you can use USBs on your computer if you cant do cds and floppys?Zeroing a Hard Drive

As long as it can read a CD that I have from the box I'm fine.
I said CD, check above on page 2 :X
#23
Thanks tori, now I gotta break the news to my mom and order the thing >_>
#24
Check at your local hardware retailers before ordering from newegg. There's a chance that they have a basic external cd drive for cheaper.
#25
Would Best Buy be a place to check
#26
Im not american bro, no idea.
#27
Newegg or Frys would be cheaper then Best Buy.
#28
Right sorry tori.
And how much cheaper?
#29
Probably not more then a few dollars.
