Asus Laptop K53E Crashed, Recovery Disk NOT Working
This laptop crashed over a month ago. I was told it needed a recovery disk since it would say it was loading windows files, and starting windows. But then it goes to an empty desktop screen and does nothing. I got the recovery disk in the mail today, I put it in and it does nothing! Anyone know what could be the problem?
Are you booting from the disc? If your laptop won't boot from it and keeps going to Windows instead, you'll have to go into your BIOS and edit the boot order so the CD/DVD drive comes first.

nope it will just have the Asus logo, then says windows files are loading, starting windows... then it goes to what looks like the desktop, but there is nothing on it, no icons, nothing... just the cursor
