Hello I am new to the forums my name's scott.
Basically I bought a computer from compaq late 2005 and its been ok.
I didn't get no recovery cd's with my pc which is annoying and didnt know how to make them at the time. So to the problem. My friend put a beta version of Vista on my pc a while back and it messed up the partitions which was on the D: drive which is now on the C: drive. All the files are intact thank god. But when I boot up the machine and press F10 it wont load the recovery software? Maybe where it's not going to the right part of the drive as I now installed another version of Xp which on D: drive. On boot menu I get two Windows Xp Homes come up only the first one works not the second which may of been the original XP. If anyone has any ideas as im puzzled let me know.
Regards.
