my computer would not go to safe mode. It would always ask to start normally or repair. In normal it would also revert to giving a choice of repair. I could not get it to do the repair because the first window needs to show an operating system which mine did not show.
I eventually got a set of drivers from my grandson who is a computer scientist that would enable the correct operating system for the repair. That did the trick, the repair window then showed Windows 7. However upon hitting next a screen came up stating there was no recognizeable hard drive (????). And to try to restore from a remote hard drive. Fortunately I did have by back up hard drive that had a complete back up of my computer. Plugged it in...hit next and within an hour or so I had a completely operational computer again.
Lessons to be learned: If you do not have restore discs made for your computer do it today. If you do not have a remote back up of your computer do it today.
