If this is the case, it probably means all changes and files are already lost.<br /><br />This ulitity is normally envoked by pressing Ctrl F11 at boot, and has numerous warnings about data loss. It is not something that should happen by accident. If you think this is what has occurred, allowing the restore to complete and re-download all the relevent MS updates may be the only option. <br /><br />When all that completes you can attach your external backup and reload your data and/or programs.<br />Hope this helps a little...Sans Pantaloonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04130530157730494870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2234266106201179530.post-88121808758779584362009-06-12T17:37:37.527-04:002009-06-12T17:37:37.527-04:00You were expecting a serious answer from these peo...You were expecting a serious answer from these people?
