Help cannot boot computer.

[CoreyLowe]

Okay so here is the deal, My buddy at work comes to me and tells me hey, they released a free upgrade from RTC to Free ultimate, I trusting him as my (Manager!! Like WTFF) Well turns out he ran this program on my compy that was called something hazar or whatever. Now my computer will not boot. It says the file isnt there or whatever. How do i fix his Freaking mistake before i kill him. I have practically my life on this computer and wiping it would practicallly make me start over. So if this is unfixable.. kill me now -.-;

*Edit*
Says for me to get an Fdisk partition tool? Im at such a loss here.

 

[DocBrown]

Do you have a backup ? Can you boot into Safe Mode ?

Ask him to run this on his computer to show how well it works.

 

[zigzag3143]

DONT FDISK unless you dont mind losing everything on it

 

[CoreyLowe]

No i dont have a backup. And he has Windows seven running on his computer. I have researched this and turns out what he did was freaking illegal. He used the crack from that Lemeo or what ever the hell its called leak and ran an Exe that was supposed to mess with my bios to make it not notice its a fake key or something.. Freaking idk.. Im about to just say Fck it and wipe my hard drive with iolo drive scrubber disc. But seriously any help would be great before i do this.. Its called like vista loader 2.1.2 that keeps trying to come up.. It is telling me i need to fix it with like an Fdisk Partition tool.. I need a windows vista boot disc so i can redo my operating system. I cant even freaking boot to safe mode or anything so no.

 

[CoreyLowe]

Well what do i do other than Fdisk. I can get my original vista basic activation code if i can get a freaking install boot disc or whatever. I had an anytime upgrade i'd use but i let my cousin borrow it like 2 hours away from where i live. so i cant use it.

You have your life on there, yet you make no backups?
Are you aware the average lifespan of a harddisk is 3 yrs?

Ok, on a more helpful note.

What file isn't there? What does it say exactly?

 

[DocBrown]

Is this the Acer t180 desktop in your specs ?

 

[CoreyLowe]

its trying to do a fall back thats all i really know, Unrecognized partition table for drive 81. then it tells me to get a microsoft approved fdisk tool to repair the damaged partition

you are going to need something to boot from. dvd usb thumb drive, extra HD. besides that, you are going to need something to remove the lenovo nasty he put on your system. google that. IF ALL ELSE FAILS dont fdisk it. if you do its gone.

do you have a desktop or laptop? if desktop remove the CMOS button battery with the computer unplugged. that will reset the cmos to default.

let me know when you are ready to proceed

you have to know if it is a laptop or not, right?

edit how important is the stuff on the hard disk? worth spending money to get it fixed?

 

[CoreyLowe]

I do know i have a D; drive, And im using an acer t180 desktop. but i dont know where this batery thing is, and if i need to google something what am i googling?

 

[CoreyLowe]

If you live in the US i am available on the phone if anyone is that willing to help. its hard running from room to room and he already left so i cant say hey fix it.

We are all trying to help get you to a SAFE state before everything get wiped out.

Normally I leave this battery out for 1/2 hour & the power cord unplugged from the AC wall power soure in your house. then I put the battery back in. It resets the computer BIOS to the default factory settings. So we might have something to work with.

 

[CoreyLowe]

Alright, Ill go take this out now and let it sit for thirty minutes, I have my grandma's destop to contact here on. ill be back in thirty i guess.

Is the stuff on the HD worth paying to get back?? we can get you re-installed but not without wiping the drive.

 

[CoreyLowe]

All my music was on there, about 2 thousand dollars worth a huge collection, Irreplaceable artwork, And some programs like adobe photoshop i lost the disc to. Half is easily replaceable, but the other not so easily if at all. but im going to let this bios reset do its thing and hope to god it works. But i really dont want to have to wipe anything. It'd be nice if i could update and just save it to a windows.old file like before. It'd be so much easier.
