| | Re: HP Pavilion dv6000 won't load vista Hi Steve-- if you followed the thread, he was asking about F8 which reaches the Win Advanced Options menu where you can acess system restore, some other options, and "last known good configuration". Only system restore is available behind the safe modes I mentioned in about 5 posts and linked. You said "system recovery" (which is really a vague term) wipes everything. If you mean the erratic and often no efficacy OEM piece of junk recovery discs, or recovery partitions, they restore back to "factory settings" but a high percent of the time do absolutely zip. I have hundreds of posts on this group over 3 + years trying to fix Won't Boot Vistas, and I've never recommended them since I did the same thing on the XP groups. None of the options from Vista Startup Repair lose anything either when they work, or when they don't. None of the options I ever suggest lose anything significant. System restore sometimes as I repeatedly said, can lose the shortcuts on the desktop since the RESTORE point, or programs/updates installed since the restore point. Otherwise it loses nothing when it works or when it does not.

| | Re: HP Pavilion dv6000 won't load vista Where in your area Richard, is recovery of data from a HD by a service affordable for a college student with average funds for a college student? How much is the fee on average? Many of the services I've talked to want a minimum of $1600. How many college students do you know who have that kind of discretionary money? CH "Richard G.

| vista home premium | Re: HP Pavilion dv6000 won't load vista Ok, my Gf is having the same sorta issue on her HP pavilion dv6000. But you guys seem to keep talking about the HDD... I dont know about you but I can load up safe mode in either comand prompt or /w networking. HDD still there, all data is fine. If you can access safe mode i recommend it for backing up your shtuff before bringing it to a "pro". Ive lost data because idiot "pros" just decide to do a complete reinstall.... morons! So here's my theory. Video card issue. Although, i did read something about it being a CPU issue, but maybe the problem differs with the users and forum threads ive seen about this. Another theory..... which isnt much of a theory its more a statement.... VISTA IS HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DELETE IT NOW AND BURN THE CD/DVD IN A RITUAL, CLEANING YOUR SOULS!!!!! either that, and/or HP Pavillion is the problem with its cheap HP parts. Thank god for warrenty. Anyways, I think the guys earlier saying to go to a "pro" is the best solution, BUT, I recommend that you enter safe-mode, back your data up and go to a pro. or even reinstall windows first(after backup) THEN go to a "pro" if that fails. Just back up first >.< I lost 80gig of music i was recording over 13 years after bringing my PC to a shop. Lucky I recovered it..... CIAOOO -Halfhead |
