HP Mini 110 help needed please

rdpro

A genuine cd is the same as a copy really, because you aren't going to actually install it, just use it's repair function - so I needn't go further on that topic

Will leave you in peace now!

Thanks so much for your help- really kind of you to reply.

Will post back once Ive (hopefully, fingers crossed!) sorted it.

No need for a Windows 7 disc. You can download a Repair Disc and boot it up from the external drive.

this is from the gumph that comes with your netbook:


Symptom: Computer displays a blue screen or continually re-starts

Trying to restart the PC after an error message can usually bypass the error and the PC can run in Safe mode to install an update or patch.
Boot to BIOS Diagnostics (f10) and run memory and hard drive diagnostic tests

Boot to Windows Advanced boot options (f8) and:
o Select Disable automatic restart on system failure to view error message
o Run Repair Your Computer
o Run Last Known Good Configuration (Advanced)
o Select Boot into Safe Mode and then Run a Microsoft system restore
o Select Boot into Safe Mode and then Uninstall recently installed programs
o Select Boot into Safe Mode and then run Windows Update

If you have a problem with Torrents, you can download from here: Windows 7 32-bit Repair Disc.iso
