Alright, I got my folks a computer last year for Christmas. Apparently, some things had been downloaded over the past year, and it was screwing up. So my brother tried to reinstall the OS. Problem was, he installed the OS disk from my parents other computer rather than the one that came with it, and they can't find the OS disk that came with the computer I got them. Question is: Can this be reversed? I haven't seen their computer yet, but apparently it isn't loading up properly. Oh, and MB, I left you a voicemail.
Why would it matter which disk he installed it from if its the same OS? What exactly is the problem? What on the computer is "acting up?" If the OS has been reinstalled and everything cleaned out, then it might be a hardware issue, or some crappy peice of software they keep using. Otherwise, I second Miguel's suggestion.
What are the operating systems, the one that came with the PC and the one your brother installed? It sounds like it can be reversed but you may have to do another fresh reinstall.
You forgot to mention that you are working on your computer because there is a chick in your room you can't get out.
is this a proprietary PC or a mom and pop store bought PC? if it's proprietary, most of them have a PC r4estore option that gets the computer back to its original shape within minutes.
I love serials, Captain Crunch and Lucky Charms are my favorite, but how do you email them, can you email beer also? If so I'll take a Bud Light please, thanks so much.
my work filter sucks, I will not get your joke until I can get home and look at this thread. Also the "Every post in this thread must have a picture" thread is lost on me while at work.
Sounds like another city cash grab. You should take the segway down to city hall and b**** slap someone for this nonsense.
LOL! okay, okay..... No, if he's reinstalled the OS, it can't be reversed. But that doesn't mean it can't be fixed. I'd recommend either... a) get a tech buddy (such as MB) to troubleshoot why the computer "isn't loading up properly" and fix it. b) backup crucial data off of the machine (including device drivers), format the hard drive, and reinstall the OS from a clean master disk. or c) If possible, contact the computer maker and see if they'll send a new copy of the proper restore disk for that computer. This disk will probably wipe the machine and reinstall everything to factory defaults. I recommend trying C first, and if you can't get a master restore disk from the computer manufacturer, then you go with b. Wiping and rebuilding is more work, but it's a cleaner solution.
I actually got that shirt for christmas. in fact I'm actually wearing it at work right now. Yes I'm in tech support.
