Urgent Computer Help!
My parents computer doesn't start up. I was in the process of installing Norton Anti-virus and I had to many programs running, i guess, well the computer froze so I did the CONTROL+ALT+DELETE thing and now after it restarted goes to a black screen and says "non-system disk or disk error..." But there is no disk in the drive. What can I do? The last thing I wanna do on my sunday afternoon is reformat a computer.
HELP GUYS!! |

Forget the above post....Now does anyone know how to save all my favorites, so I can take them to a different computer?

dunno if you can just copy them (i would think you can), but the folder is located at
C:\WINDOWS\Favorites

If you have a Emergency Boot Disk (email me if you need instructions), boot the computer with the floppy, and at the DOS prompt, type:
SYS C: This is of course assuming that you have Win 95/98/ME. If you have NT/2000/XP, you need to use the system disks to recover. It sounds like you blew away your boot block, if you are lucky, that is all the damage there is. Qustions: Email me AFJuvat |
