Hi Guys,

Thanks for your replies, Unfortunately i do not have the install disks, when i brought the laptop, everything was stored on a partition on the harddrive. Before now, whenever i had a problem, i just backed up my data, and did a clean install straight from the hard drive. Now when i try that, It goes through the usual of 'Recover your computer to its factory condition' - 'Reformatting windows partition of your hard drive disk' - 'Reinstalling original content' - Recovery is complete'. My laptop restarted automatically, but still went stright in Startup Repair after boot up. This time the Root Cause found was ' Failure while setup is in progress'. How do i find out what that failure was?

Thanks
Simon
