my computer was crashing and then I had a power outage now when I try to start it a screen coumes up and says start in
safe mode
safe mode with networking
safe mode with command prompt
or start windows normally
I have tried all of these options and none of them have worked
on start up I pressed f5 and tried all of the options there as well my computer is an HP computer and I have sent them an email but that could take a while. If no one has any ideas would it be possable to buy the XP disk and reinstall the os ?

No its an HP comp no disks came with it the recovery files are in a partiton on the comp

Does'nt that really **** you off?, when you buy a PC you should get the OS on disc after spending so much money!

[klidifia]

i hate how packard bell etc dont give you discs, and then tatoo the HD :/

you could sue them for not giving you the disk, even though you paid for it

[Apokalipse]

NEVER buy from HP again!

Dell is a good company, they always give you your disks and extras but they are a bit over-priced
