Booting from the recovery disk requires you to change the boot order in the Bios. Time to try out your ERD.
Good afternoon, I am at work and one of my computers will not start. I am running Windows 2000 Pro. I turn on the computer and it starts to load(the screen where it says to hit f8 for troubleshooting) and the second it tries to load a blue screen pops up and the only way I can esc it is unpluging the whole thing. I have tried booting it from every option(safe mode etc.), and the same thing happens. I even tried to boot the recovery disk-nothing? Thanks for taking the time to read this and I will take ANY help I can get. Joe
