| | Re: Turned off pc during windows vista restoring That is exactly the results I would expect if I did that, not surprising at all. Tap F8 when you turn on your PC, and select last known good config from the boot menu and hit enter. Next time think a bit before getting impatient. -- ------ "alara2k" <alara2k.3w3frb@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:alara2k.3w3frb@xxxxxx Quote: > > Hi all, > > I mistakenly turned off my pc during the system restore of windows > vista.
