To explain a little of the problem I have outlined chronologically what has happened:
1] The PC in question was bought Oct 2000.
2] It has recently been updated to Windows 2000 and Office XP.
3] The KEyboard changed from English UK to English US Default settings and when I tried to rectify this through the control panel, it would not call up any dialogue boxes.
4] MS Outlook XP came up with a error box asking for a detect and Repair.
5] Detect and repair was run through the HELPoption. WHen asked to shut down, we did.
6] On turning the PC back on an electrical wire burning smell came from the back of the PC and when trying to boot up the PC stops with an Invalid Boot Diskette Error A: and asks me for a valid one. There is no diskette in the computer.
I desparately need to get information off the hard drive. Is there any way through Set-up to get past this message? Does this mean a wire ahs burnt through and I will no longer be able to access my computer?
