yes i have asked this before
Hi
Hope everyone is well.
ok this is more vista forum related. I tried using this log in and it wouldn't accept my name and log in. I don't wish to create a new account. Sorry ( vista will not be my issue soon)
ok first point this is the final machine in a long running virus infection. I am doing this because it is my old machine that i gave to a friend and they have given me permission to through it in the bin if it doesn't work. I want to get the machine up and running. the window 7 and xp machines are all working well
Ok I tried getting help else. (sorry long story) This laptop has no keyboard due to the fact that i spelt water on it. I am able to have access from a pc2 keyboard ( i know i have enter that wrong). i have working keys to enter and what ever in bios. I can get past in installation the ram something loading screen,
I have wriped the hard drive. The bios isn't acting normal. I have spoken about this to a friend of my who is very IT savvy. I can't reset the bios to boot from cd. I think on this machine it has to do with the infection.... I reset the bios on this machine before and at the moment it acts like the virus and doesn't let me scroll down.
I have downloaded the bios flash from acers for my machine. I just don't know how to create a bootable dvd to flash the bios. this is what i need to know what to do
The rig is acer aspire 3680 laptop running vista home basic
sorry guys i know this is windows 7 forum ( which i love and running on my new machine). I have also shot of an email to avast ( used them for years) to see if they want the infected usb thumb drive so know one else goes through)
cheers
