WINDOWS P SYSTEM RECOVERY

Locked

by danielmwale1 · about 14 years ago

My HP Compaq N 9010 just stopped to boot! It is giving me the ‘disk error” message when I try to boot.

I tried to re-instal windows XP SP2. after 12 hours of formating, it gave the message “unable to partition…” therefore was not able to continue.

Please help on information on how I can recover.

Thanks

Dan
