    Most PCs are sold with a recovery disk - if you have that pop it in reboot and follow the instructions. Some time next week it will be finished!
    Waddle you do eh?

    Some computers also have built-in recovery, usually from an option in the start menu, or a 'press the ** key for recovery' during start up. What brand of PC is it?
  • Recovery disc now in action! Just keeping fingers crossed now!

    Thanks :-)
