A $433 paperweight??

electrotune1200 You might have a recovery partition. They are usually protected and pretty hard to delete sometimes.

Hold down 0 (Zero) while you turn the computer on. If it loads to a recovery partition you're good to go.


Tried that,recoverey hdd flashed up on a black screen
so fast barely had time to read it.

Didn't go in to recovery mode.

Did it what's it been doing ever since i erased HD
Grey screen with error message

error f3- f100-0004

please press(ok) to turn off pc

I can get into bios mode ok

There has to be a way to fix this.

I would be nice if you could get a picture of the current condition. Partition Wizard will boot and allow you to look at the partitions on the drive. But it does not appear to give you a picture you could post, of course a digital camera would.

It does, however have a Partition recovery option which I have never used, but you may think about if nothing else works.

GParted does have a "take photo" option.

Anyway, if you could get a picture for us it might help.

I do agree with the others, you should have been given a recovery DVD, or had a recovery partition on the drive, unless you deleted it.

Hi
I don't have another pc to download p/wizard

Will that help?

LOL, I had the same situation with HP once. But after "discussions", they sent me a free one too. Glad to see that you are on the path to recovery.
