  • hey i put in my hp recovery disk and then i re-booted me computer and hit f10 to get the recover to start nothing came up?

    please help

  • tyler3006,

    Your computer must be enabled to boot from removable media. If you wish to perform a system recovery from a recovery partition on your hard drive then press F10. Otherwise, check your BIOS settings to ensure that boot from removable media is enabled. Also while in the BIOS you might want to check the boot order of all devices found on your system and modify as needed. Alternatively, press the appropriate function key that allows you to view the boot menu during system startup.

  • That happens to me..... I just ignore it :P

  • get CD recovery for gateway and use it, my computer is Compaq hp and the gateway recovery CD worked with it just fine.

  • Depending on the manufacturer of the computer and monitor, you may simply visit their support web site and download the latest driver available for the monitor that is compatible with your operating system. Once you install the driver, the popup message for "Found New Hardware..." specific to the monitor should go away.

  • xD...wh00ps

    all i did was delete partitions and reinstall XP ....the usual..i do it to all computers that get RAPED by viruses and spyware :D

  • Upon receiving a new computer (these days), you should always take care to create system recovery media (CDs, DVDs,etc). Otherwise, if your hard drive fails then you will have to purchase recovery media from the computer manufacturer. Check the appropriate manufacturer's web site and request a quote for recovery media for your particular computer model.

  • thanks dude

  • cool like the compac thingy

  • im going to do it today, hope it works.......
