I tried the erecovery and it got part way through and it stoped and said I needed to get the media disks which I did. When they arrived I switched to booting from the CD and it went as far as asking for the first of 3 disks then it stopped no message just stopped. Stated it again but when I get back inot the select restore type it only gives me the option to select Exit.....anyone have any hints as to what I should try next?

Thanks Steve

Try to boot from the first DVD recovery disk again. At the point where it stops, press and hold the Alt+Home or Alt+Fn+Home key combination to try to minimize the installation screen.  There may be a hidden screen waiting for a response from you. If no hidden screen appears, try ejecting the first disk at the place where it stops, then insert the 2nd disk to see what happens. Report back with results. Thanks

No luck the only thing running in the background is the Administer: X:\RyTools\NAPP8.exe window

Do you get any messages when you try to eject the first disk at its stopping point and insert the 2nd? Is this Win7 home premium? Are you trying to recover any data?

Jack E/NJ

[Steve2]

No messages. It goes as far as the as the recover screen and only gives me the Exit option

[JackE]

OK. Is this Win7 home premium? And do you have data on the hard disk that you're trying to recover?

Jack E/NJ

[Steve2]

Yes windows 7 premium and there is nothing on the HD I want.

[JackE]

Does the first erecovery disk give you the option of re-partitioning and re-formatting the HD? If so, do it.

Jack E/NJ

[Steve2]

It does not give any any options just the Exit one just like the erecovery mode

[JackE]

OK, back to the beginning. Why did you try to do an erecovery in the first place?
