Safe Mode The windows help instructions say: On the Advanced Boot Options menu, use the arrow keys to highlight Repair your computer, and then press ENTER.

| | Re: Advanced Boot Options screen help Great, it worked perfectly. Thanks very much for your patient support. I have completely restored the shadow image, what a time and stress saver. The shadow image was from 4 Sep 07, I now need to restore the data and files between then and 20 Nov 07 when the disaster occurred. Hopefully this will go smoothly. Thanks again.
