Hi, guys
My sister didn't listen to me or bothered to follow the directions on the screen that say don't turn off, and she turned off the HP laptop while vista sp1 was being installed. Now windows won't load. I tried running a system restore but that doesn't work. It goes through the process of restoring then says your system was not restored.
I also tried running repair from the vista upgrade disk the came with the computer but the repairs didn't work.
Is there anyway to fix windows without restoring the factory settings and loosing all the data? I can restore the computer to factory settings, but would lose the programs and files. Any way to restore windows and keep the files?
