My bad Uethello -I must've misunderstood him when he wrote
" there are no calendar or restore dates available. The screen kind of sits."
I've gotta run for a couple hours, but I'll check into another option when I get back...

most pc manufacturers ive seen throw the "copy" of xp they get on a partition of the main drive.

I've seen that as well, Jokostel. Some even have the foresight to install the recovery console as a boot option. Would be nice if this was one of those times...
On that train of thought: VH5150-what size does your hard drive report?

everything from the recovery disk. I lost some work buy at least I am starting from a clean slate. Anybody know the best free pop-up buster program?

Thanks for everyone's help,

We had a recovery disk all this time?

from it was completely restore, otherwise it was useless for repair. In the end that is what I ended up doing. It allowed you to make boot disks and such, but nothing to repair a damaged registry. Thanks for all your help Bill.

www.lavasoftusa.com btw use ad-aware from this site for adware/spyware removal, you could say using this is like letting robots handle bombs for the bomb squad, it's just a good idea lol

popupstopper does a good job of controlling popups. Download the freeware version of it.
cheers, ~pawprint~
