SSD OS cant do anything!?!

[Sabotage]

story: i've had my computer on for a week(nothing new) and i shut it down last night. this morning when i booted up nothing would open, AV wouldn't load, etc. (im on my other drive because i never formatted this one and it had windows still on it.)

i could get into dos and then that froze up too , would this be a hardware thing or a virus? anything i can do to help you help me?

thanks

Can you use safe mode?

 

[Sabotage]

tried, no keys respond when the boot menu pops up and i can't get into msconfig.

First thing is try the recovery CD.
Want to make one now or you want to wait.

 

[Sabotage]

[richc46]

The first thing is to try a system recovery CD
You can wait till you get to the Dorm

i made it but i cant boot into it because my keys don't work on boot up (press any key to continue). I am in my dorm and i can't find anyone who has a keyboard (everyone has laptop). front desk won't give me one and the tech center in the school can't even give the time of day so...

Whats the story with your stuff, too valuable to lose?

 

[Sabotage]

what do you mean?

 

[richc46]

, I want to know if we proceed and you lose your files etc, is this a problem?

 

[Sabotage]

not really i suppose, but i just got everything set up on there the other day (Cs5,etc.) and i just hate having to start from scratch.

When you can get a keyboard try to get the startup repair to work. You should not lose any of your documents

The next thing to try is a repair install.

If you can set the BIOS to boot from the CD we can reinstall, but you lose your doucments.

After you have tried both these method and neither works we will try to restore factory specs.
Depending on the computer brand there is either a CD or a restore partition to do this.
You will definately lose your documents etc, if you use this method.

Wait until you get a keyboard. If you cant get any keys to work, Im at a loss.
Sorry about your problems.

if this doesn't work im sending this stupid drive back to corsair.

btw, what do you think is wrong?

 

[richc46]

When you boot, does it get to post (beeps) if so describe beeps. One long, none, two short etc.

What is computer brand and model?

 

[Sabotage]

no there is no beeps. all the info on my system is in the system spec option under my name ain't it?

 

[richc46]

For the computer brand you do not need specs. All I need is Dell, Toshiba etc
If you have a model that is good Dell XPS420 etc. It should be on the computer.

Me bad, checked your specs, its custom made, so no help there.
