If all else fails, get a Linux CD and boot from it. Then if you are lucky you can use it to access files using weird commands :p

It's time to try the restore function. If you have a search bar on the bottom of the screen type that word in to bring up the file. Set the restore option to yesterday. Should take about 15 minutes or so to go through its paces.

Oh, I'm sorry! Thought that your computer was able to boot up. By the way, do you have anything in your CD Rom? If you do, then remove it. That would be another reason for getting a reboot message. Eject whatever is in your CD Rom out and then try rebooting again.

"Good solution!" ;)



It sounds like the partition table or a / the boot sector of the hard drive may have been corrupted.

How old does a computer have to be before it's considered obsolete?

Well... the hardware stays more or less the same (unless you need fancy video cards or very much processing power),
so it depends mostly on the software I think. My computers tend to die after five years :p
