Hi All,
I am trying to recover Vista on an ACER Laptop. It won't boot, but opens a screen asking if I wan't to run windows normally or try the startup recovery.
Either option results in the same hung state.
I don't have any of the original disks. I have downloaded and burnt the recovery disk which boots fine.
I get to the Vista splash screen. I click the Repair your computerlink at the bottom left and that's where things stop working to plan.
It opens a system recovery options dialog ( searchig for instalations )
The instalation gets found. I select it and click next and it goes straight into the "startup repair" No option to select a System Restore or Command Prompt.
I see from the wikki and other postings that a System Recovery Options dialog should open at some pont which gives me the system restore, command prompt etc etc
Any thoughts on why I don't see the other repair options.
Thanks
Jeff
