NEED HELP wINDOWS 7

Boggin:
It sounds like it's getting worse.

Does F2 or F12 to get you into Setup or the boot order change menu - you tap either of these keys as you switch on.

Normally you would see this prompt as you switch on but as you switch on, tap either of those keys to stop it booting any further into Windows.

If F2 gets you into Setup then use the cursor keys to navigate to the Boot tab and press enter then again using the cursor keys, highlight the ODD (CD/DVD drive) then it's either F5 or F6 to move that to the top - you'll see which in the lower menu - press F10 to Save and Exit - confirm but before the final confirm, open the disk drawer and insert the Paragon Rescue disk.

(If you can't get into the Setup with F2 then try F12 for a one off change of boot order).

When the Paragon disk boots up, quickly use the cursor keys to select Safe Mode and press enter, then when File Transfer Wizard is highlighted, press enter.

It showed a few drives for me but mainly C: NTFS and D: NTFS

C: seems to include the system files, but I'm not sure what you could do with those as to installing them onto another HDD.

Selecting D: and pressing enter listed the sections you want to copy MS Word and Program Files (x86) where you will find its other folder.

You can use your mouse or cursor keys to select then use the green arrow to transfer to the Clipboard.

Have a look around to see what else you want to copy across, but I don't think there's much point in selecting 3rd party programs as you cannot copy them as they need to be installed to work.

I use an external HDD for my system images which will also do to save this stuff, although I was able to copy what I need for MS Works onto a 4GB Flash drive - it really depends upon the size of what you want to save, which you can check by hitting the Calc button.

Click on the Help button and that will walk you through where you need to go from there.

Anyway, I'm off shortly for a belated lunch as it's getting on for 1:30pm here.

F2 gets me into system Diagnostics with the following options F1 system information F2 startup test F3 run in test F4 hard disk test f11 error log. I don't see the boot tab

Boggin:
What does F12 do for you ?

Can you post your laptop make and model again and I'll see if I can find out how to get into the BIOS (Setup).

F2 and F12 are usually the keys to get you into the respective sections but can change with make and model.

F12 puts me in windows boot manager and my computer is HP G 60 60, 830CA. Does the Paragon rescue dish need to be on DVD or can it be on a flash drive?

Boggin:
I'm not sure if it will go onto a Flash Drive, but you will see the options as it has its own burner - but the crux will be if your machine has the option to boot from USB before the HDD - some older machines don't have that option.
