Aww thanks for answering...this is what happened....I turned on my PC and a blue screen came up asking to choose keybord language. Then a system recovery options screen appears but it can't find my operating system.There is an option to load drivers if the operating system cannot be found. I can't seem to find any that works.

Is there anything I can do to get past this problem???

No need to post this twice. Stay with 1 thread. It's better for you.

So are you unable to boot up your PC?

If so what happens when you start up your PC, how far do you get, what messages come up?

I'm really really sorry for posting a topic twice, really sorry! I just couldnt find how to reply...and oh well..Im sorry!!! I'm really upset with my pc

I start up my pc, a screen appears saying 'acer' then another black screen saying microsoft corporation and then the blue screen asking to select keybord language and then the screen with the recovery system options...and that's how far i get!!!

And the f8 didnt work!! I tried tapping it, then tried keeping it pressed, then tried doing that another 2 times...but nothing!! Why doesnt it find my operating system? I did try to look for the windows cd that came with the pc and inserted it...but again nothing!!!!!

You need to keep hitting the F8 key as soon as you see the Acer screen. Hopefully this will take you into safe mode and you can boot up from there.

That DVD (I think) is just a publicity disk.

As soon as the computer starts booting up, hold down the Alt key, and tap on F10.
