Computer repairs Gullane / North Berwick / Edinburgh...

Options
I have a HP Netbook (no CD drive), basically corrupted software and needs to be re-installed (which I have on CD)... I know that I could go to the likes of PC World, but it'll be pricey, any local recommendations?

(Near to Gullane / North Berwick / Edinburgh) :money:
Thanks.

    Can't you just borrow an external drive from someone and do it yourself, even if you can't borrow one you can buy one for under £20 !

    Don't pay someone just to reinstall software, all they are doing is inserting a cd.
  • just buy a usb cd rom drive, google for them or check amazon or dabs or something, can pick one up for £10 and just install the software yourself.
  • I have a contact in Gullane, reliable and trustworthy. Not sure if he takes in work but could ask if you are still looking.
  • I'd be grateful for that, the above mentioned contact is quoting 45 pounds. I'd be tempted to just buy the cd drive, but knowing my luck it would get complicated. When I try to switch on the computer at the minute,it's just a black screen, not surehow they work with that.
