Ok I have a problem with a vista laptop, and it wont boot up. I tried to boot up in safe mode with no luck, however it did boot up once after I loaded the default option. Now it just goes to the repair screen and in the operating system screen there is nothing there and asked for drivers, so now where can I get them. I can download them on another computer but where are they found. I also I would let you know that I have Acronis on the laptop and tryed to use the boot disk but nothing happens, does that mean that the hard drive is shot? It tries to load I even get the Acronis loading screen but then it goes blank and does nothing......... any help on this .......thanks.........two-dogs
