Hey, I'm having an issue with the vista x64 recovery disk. I downloaded the iso file to the disk, it says it's there on my other computer, but I get to the "press any key to boot from CD"and nothing happens... I just keep pressing it and keep pressing, but same messege appears. I can hear the disk in the drive rotating.
This is my only course of action because, this morning, I was experiencing a movable cursor on a black screen. I then used gateway recovery tool, but while using the tool, after factory backing up, a process was continueing for 3 hours. I thought there was something wrong with that, and I couldn't Alt+tab out or even Alt+F4 out, so I unplugged and replugged the computer in. After that, a install windows window appeared at boot, that again went for too long and did the same course again. Now, when I normally try to boot I get an error with the title "Install Windows" and the messege: "The computerrestarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error. Windows installation cannot proceed. To install Windows, click OK to restart the computer, and then restart the installation." After rebooting endless times, I just keep getting the error. I do not have a normal vista disk that came with the computer. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
I can now get to a windows-looking screen, blue background, installing windows. When I try to install, it says some file is missing and to check the installation CD for that file. (E:\Sources\Install.wim) (0x80070002)
- Startup repair has found an issue
-Root cause found: Failure while setup is in progress.
-System Restore doesn't work, just.. nothing happens
-I have no restore points
-Running a gateway, but yet the recovery options for gateway is not working.
