:scared: I read through the forum and made a Vista Recovery disc. My problem is that I am unable to get the computer to boot from the CD drive. When I boot and hit F8 and tab to Safe Mode, the system starts loading files but hangs after loading
Loaded:\Windows\System32\Drivers\crcdisk.sys
There was no luck using Last Known Good Configuration. I also tried Safe Mode with Networking and Safe Mode with Command Prompt (hung same place with each)
Nor did the Debugging mode help me. I also tried to Disable Driver Signature Enforcement with out any luck. I have a basic understanding of computers, can use some basic DOS commands, etc and would appreciate any assistance on how to get to a point where I can ask the computer to boot from a CD vs the harddrive. If I try to boot normally either from F8 or without interrupting the Windows boot, I get the 6 little alternating squares that occur when Windows is booting normally only the screen never progresses. Thanks for your help

Just make sure to save the changes to the BIOS as you exit it, or it wont work...
