Title: Need computer help...
Post by: biscuit on May 17, 2009, 09:18:16 PM: I'm not good at this...
It's an HP running XP
I tried to start my laptop this morning and got an error message saying...

OS Missing
Press a key.

Then i get a message saying...

Non-System disk or disc error
replace and strike any key when ready

If i try to launch HP Recovery it goes to the blue screen of death

My recovery disk(s) gives me 2 options...

1. R for Standard Recovery options
Which goes right to blue screen

2. F to format the hard drive and reinstall the original settings. All data will be lost!

My question is if i reinstall to all original settings will I be able to get the files off the backup disk? This is my work computer and i have a shit load of stuff that i need... I made the backup disk's about 2 months ago. Do they have my files or just factory hardware?

Thanks for any help,

I believe it only has one hard drive. The files are on the hard drive that is in the computer right now.

I made a recovery cd 2 months back. It is on 9 cd's.

It is finished bitch, waiting to go home in 30 mins to chip my ecu hah.

biscuit, safest way is to download linux live (google it) burn it to a cd, it will boot your computer, and save all your files on a usb stick. If you need help pm me

Or you could just do what I said, and not have to pull any hard drive out...
