Thanks ... I'm following the instructions, but the dumpit file that you asked me to download appears to be just a text file containing random symbols.

Before I carry on, can you confirm that this is correct, or have I got the wrong thing?

Thanks, Andy

That's correct but right click the link and choose "Save target as" (IE) or "save link as" (Firefox). Then save it to your USB stick. It'll save as a file.

Sorry Andy, just to add.

When you right click and choose save as target... make sure you save it as just "dumpit" without extension and save as type: All files.

Sorry, another question. A google search tells me that the way to boot from CD is to press a key at startup ... but my PC has no PS/2 keyboard port, and my USB keyboard only works once Windows has loaded.

When the PC is turned on or restarted, I get various options coming up onscreen at startup - press F2 to enter setup etc. - but no key presses will work until Windows is running.

Is there another way within Windows to set the PC to boot from CD?


Thanks, Andy

Sorry I Keep forgetting that - it might cause us problems. Just boot it with the CD in and see if it boots from it.

Hi,

It booted from the disk ok, and xPUD started up, and I went into the file menu. However, I couldn't find either my USB or external hard drives under mnt. I could locate my second internal hard drive (drive E) - will it work to save the driver.sh and dumpit files to that drive instead?

Thanks,

Andy

I'm not sure, you can certainly try it.

I've just tested it myself - it should work.

Hi, that's all done, and the report.txt and mbr.zip are saved.

What do I do next?

Many thanks,

Andy
