    If all else fails, try pressing 0 at boot to restore to factory settings, but you will lose all your data using this method

    Noooooooooooooo..... don't do that.:eek:

    Here is the Vista Recovery Disc. Download and save to a working PC. Burn the image file to disc(skip step 2b) using ImgBurn(Download and install, opt out of installing the Yahoo Toolbar).

    Once you have created the disc, place it in the drive on the wonky machine and reboot. Hit Enter when asked to Boot from CD and away ye go.
