That makes sense! Thanks for explaining the difference.

Have a good day!  :smiley:

Hi Shane - me again. Hoping I catch you before you start your weekend!

The CD burned and booted OK, though I can't see anything headed Hard Disk Tools. Below are the choices:

Boot from Hard Drive (Windows Vista/7/2008 or Xp

Mini Windows Xp
Dos programs
Linux based rescue environment (Parted Magic 2012-10-10)

Windows Memory Diagnostic
MemTest86+
Offline NT/2000/XP/Vista/7 Password Changer
Kon-Boot
Seagate DiscWizard
PLoP Boot Manager
Smart Boot Manager 3.7.1
Fix '' NTLDR is Missing''
Darik's Boot and Nuke (Hard disk Eraser)
Custom Menu...
More

I looked in more and more again which then made it reboot into the simple boot screen that does not work.

So apologies for being so lacking here - what am I supposed to do? And given that your weekend is looming, is it possible to give me idiot proof instructions so I don't need to hassle you on every step?

Bye for now  :cheesy:

Shane:

That did its thing OK from the CD. Nice to see a coloured screen! Icons on screen are:

My computer
My network places
1024x768
Command prompt
File manager
HBCD Menu
Install all Hardware
Internet explorer
Network setup
Set temp drive
Temp folder cleaner
Windows explorer
Wireless setup

Am petrified of clicking on anything in case it all goes wrong - what next? :smiley:

Shane:
Open windows explorer and tell me what drives you have.
