Hi Mwski, This tutorial will show you how to create a Recovery Disc, not like your OEM one, that will allow you to boot into the Startup Recovery Options screen. From there you can run a few options that might be able to help you. This tutorial will explain each option in the link under the Example. http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/14...very-disc.html Hope this help, Shawn -- Brink *There are no dumb questions, just the people that do not ask them.* '*VISTA FORUMS*' (http://www.vistax64.com) *Please post feedback to help others.*

Recovery from recovery disk not possible
mwski- Regarding "...I have a recovery files on my external HDD (whole
system)...." - how did you "get" the recovery files on the external drive? By use of a backup utility or copying the recovery CD? Most likely (not sure) booting from the recovery CD will present the F8 repair option. "Brink" wrote in message ... mwski;737228 Wrote: System: Vista Business OEM pre-instaled on my laptop.
