When I rebooted, I did get to the Boot Options menu. There was an option that said "directory Services Restore MOde" ( not other options for PC restore. WHen I clicked on that option, it brought me up to the desktop in safe mode. that's it.
Lets see this reboot the PC without the Drive then Press F8 while the PC is booting up Do you see Repair your computer inside the Advanced Boot Options if so press <ENTER> on the Repair your computer . Then plug in the USB Flash drive then do the other steps .
I got into the system recover, but the recovery tried to do a scan to fix any problems and went back to the Microsoft Startup Repair tool.
That's weird we didn't touch any boot files .
Let it scan inside the repair the startup repair . Hopefully it will fix the boot issue .
THat didn't work. I think i'm just going to have to reformat the HD.
when i tried to download a word file from my email, i get couldn't be downloaded.
