UPDATE HP dv8000 won't boot up?
Hi
I have a HP dv 8000 with windows XP
I have just had the mainboard replaced but now windows won't boot up.
the computer detects the drive but that is all. windows is installed on the recovery partition. I have never been able to create recovery disks as the computer always came back with an error whilst doing so.
what do I need to do?
it there some settings in the bios or something that I need to check?
can I get windows off the partition onto a dvd and delete the recovery partition all together or is this not recomended.
PLease help I need my computer back, i have been without it for a couple of months and I nav exams starting next week and I need the data off the hard drive.
thanks
Steve
