i cant get to any where to where i can uninstall the current OS... if i can i think i can re install Vista, or XP and get it working...
any help woud be awesome!! thanks...
sorry im a complete newb.
If you boot into an installation disc, you won't need to load windows off the hard drive, so it shouldn't blue screen
How much RAM does the laptop have? If less than 1GB I suggest you hunt around for an XP disc as vista will be very very slow on it and windows 7 won't do it many favors (but will be bearable)
Do you have a Vista installation DVD?
If not look on first boot screen for the key to press for Factory Recovery, or post back the make/model and we will give you the steps to try full Factory Recovery from boot.
Can you post your specs.
