Thanks Emile, Safe Mode with Command Prompt...I can get this far by using a Symantec/Norton recovery Boot disc. However I need assistance when I get as far as the command prompt.
I thought that using CD to change directories would allow me to get into the C drive and do a scan followed by some form of recovery action. However I do not seem to be able to get beyond the CD prompt. Do you have any suggestions?
