I'm sorry, you are correct. I read it too fast
The removal of viruses and malware might have damaged certain key files I would suggest SFC.exe Seeing as you do not have a retail CD, pay attention to the second post where usasma talks about the i386 folder: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic43051.html -------------------- Mark

Hi keny111111, Thanks for your reply, the laptop does have a partition but doesn't show anything on it,as i will be sending it back to him tomorrow i have printed the article in the link you have posted so if it asks for disc he can use that. Once again thanks for your help, Best regards pacman123 |
