Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. I understand what you have responded, but the HP install disk has that driver bootstrapped to the install process and cannot be stopped. I was hoping someone would point me in the direction of a downloadable Microsoft version of the install CD that is bootable. After the third reboot I get a blue screen with a stop error 0xB.
This error message indicates that there is a boot sector virus and halts everything. I would prefer to install the OS from a Microsoft disk but do not have and cannot find one to complete this process.
The person was very nice and very helpful but was reading from Dell scripts on what to do and in some cases did not have the correct information for what I needed. I had to tell support some of what I needed which if I had been an inexperienced user would not have been able to do. I can fully understand why the Geek squad and other such services have become so popular.
The average person with PC problems might have a terrible time trying to do reinstalls or fix problems etc. Most are not aware of BBS like this one. I know that I help many of my friends and neighbors with their PCs because they have no clue. It is not that they are not smart just that they are sold a PC and told here buy this one it will do everything you want it to.
My son just bought a new laptop and when asked if he wanted a software service contract said "no thanks I have my Mom ". He is a lawyer in his thirties and uses PCs for docs processing, email, and simple web searches and that is about it.
If anybody has any questions about this or if I think of anything to add will post back later. Have to go out now. You must log in or sign up to reply here. Show Ignored Content. Share This Page Tweet. Your name or email address: Do you already have an account?
