Hello everybody

This is going to sound a little silly coming from somebody with eyes; but I'm 
going to ask anyway.

I have currently 3 laptop here at home; 2 of them ours and one belonging to a 
blind friend of ours. All 3 of them use that cheap and nasty way of protecting 
the operating system; the hidden protected partition. One of the laptops is an 
Asus, (that's actually our NetBook), the other 2 are Acer machines. One of the 
Acer machines is also a NetBook, the other is a TravelMate TM2350 notebook. 
That latter machine belongs to me; I bought it just before I moved in here and 
when I knew nothing better. :)

What I'd like to know here is this; Which key, on a portable keyboard which 
does not include the numeric keypad, is used to replace the "Home" key? I know 
that it's a case of using the FN key in combination with another key; I'd 
thought it was the left arrow key or the up arrow key, but neither seems to 
work. That's how it is on Apple keyboards I believe and I'd hoped it might be 
here also.

We are hoping against hope that we can somehow force the RollBack menu to come 
up, although Gordon seems to think that the boot record must be damaged because 
we definitely did put RollBack on at least 2 of those machines but in both 
cases we're only getting the standard Windows boot menu which is no help at all 
because it just goes round and round in circles.

Anybody got any ideas here? Gordon's not with us at the moment, but that's 
another story. But the point is he can't help and I'd like to get at least our 
own little NetBook fixed if possible.

Lynne
