I am using windows Xp.
I have my system restore disks(4 of), which I made recently (within last 6 months). Yesterday I decided to use them to restore my Packard Bell IMEDIA H1509 to it's original state.
I put The 1st disk in, rebooted, waited for ages for the "format" to begin, but instead I get a mesage;-
Invalid System Disk, replace then press any key, BUT, I get this message regardless of which disk is in the drive (1 - 4). I have even tried using my Win XP disk, my hubby's recovery disk for his Advent, which didn't work either. I get this message even when the cd drive is empty.
I have checked the bios and everything looks the same as always, I did try altering the boot sequence, cd drive first then back again to hard drive first, albsolutely no difference.
Desparate for any help, as soon as possible, as it's my lifeline.
Thanks in advance.
