Default hardware or software problem?


"rc" rc@home wrote in message ...

ok, assuming its a system software issue I downloaded a recovery cd. I then
booted from the cd, a screen indicating windows is installing appears and
then a screen with the option to repair appears. I select repair and two
dialog boxes show up both labled "system recovery options" . One is
searching for windows installations. The other in the background lists the
one installation that I have. But the one in the foreground never stops
searching! And I can't do anything til it does. I was going to attempt a
repair with an installation disk from a friend or relative but given this
last episode I'm not sure anything different would happen.


What sort of recovery disk? Was it a proper Vista repair disk?
