Message: [QUOTE="Smiffie72, post: 13428677"] The reason I did a reinstall was because Windows wouldn't start and luckily had a duel boot installed on a second drive. But there used to be and option to to press F10 when booting which started the pc manufacturers own recovery. (It's a Mesh, UK company) but that didn't restore it. I had installed System Mechanic not long before I had problems and made a bootable recovery disc, but that didn't work and it found no problems with the drive. So started Recovery Console from the windows disk but that didn't work either. But the F10 disappeared. There is a partition n my primary drive which has been named recovery, but I couldn't access it. Did have a back up of the reg and tried reistalling it but that didn't work. Anyway cheers for advice, I'm still learning!! So I presume the recovery partition on the drive named recovery is what was supposed to be accessed when pressing f10. But if it doesn't work, shall I delete it and install Recovery Console? [/QUOTE]
