Hello again Ted. Just tried that. I removed the battery for over 5 minutes and the replaced it.
I had high hopes for a moment as i immediately got a message about choosing a boot order in the BIOS so I went in there and set it to HDD and I got the same result with the splash pages then the blinking cursor. No boot
Looking on the bright side my computer is now in 2002 and it would have been the hottest rig on the block back then.
Seriously though I'm really stuck here. The most drastic thing I could think of was a fresh Vista install and I've done that but can't access it. where can I go from here?
Cheers John
