Hi all
I'm attempting to fix a friends computer, and i've got as far as getting it to turn on, the old power supply is broken so i've replaced it. The next problem is getting windows to boot. I think before the power supply went, there were plenty of viruses on it, so i think the install may be borked and a format c is needed. The only problem is i don't have a copy of windows i could put on, well i do but it's the copy i own for my machine, i'm back home now and it wouldn't be easy to get the proper copy of windows from my friend.
Currently when the computer boots, it asks whether to load safe mode or not, but when you select load safe mode it gets as far as loading mup.sys then does nothing else, but i haven't tried leaving it for more than 5 mins.
So i'm left wondering what my options are? any ideas would be very much appreciated.
Thanks
Andy
