[QUOTE="jhald, post: 399193, member: 37150"] I have been told to reinstall system, which I will as a last resort . . but I still have some questions that I would like to clarify before giving up in a repair, as I have MANY programs installed which I may not be able to reinstall. Can you answer a few questions for me before I give in . . . as I still think this was/is virus caused as it has been getting progressively worse and worse as I work in it. 1) If the system does not reboot when commanded after doing a function as Restore, does that restore take hold after I have to do a hard off and re power to attempt a boot, or is it lost because of no proper reboot? 2) When choosing to boot Recovered Windows System, I get message that cannot start because, ...system32\Winload.exe is missing. Could this be the issue? 3) Can I put the hard drive in an external case in order to connect with a different system through USB, to do more troubleshooting with it? Perhaps to totally eliminate anything wrong with the hardware? Vista OS Any input will be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
