Hope some kind person can help!
My daughters laptop isn't loading properly. Have brought it home with me and put in the manufacturers recovery disc.
Now I have a command window but don't know what to do next.
At the top of the window it says the following..
X:\windows\system32\cmd.exe - startnet.cmd

if I were to assume it runs on Windows... then you should have many options to try to repair.
you could at the command line try typing: sfc /scannow
which will run a systems file check
but the problem could be almost anything. More details will be useful!
