Ok i have a HP computer.
I tried putting vista on it and it stuffed up on me. I took in under warrenty and they said i wasn't covered because vista isn't recommended on a HP computer.

They said it needs to be re-imaged and it will cost Almost $500 to do that. I just spent $500 on vista so i DO NOT want to spend that much more.

What does this mean and is there another way i can fix it myself or something??????

Could i put in a new hard drive? Would that work or would i still have problems?

Thank you so much for your reply!

I don't have the recove cd's I tried making them but they wouldn't work. it would say that the it couldnt complete the burning stage.

I have a HP media pc m7390a

Ok... first off i was having a blue screen. It was saying something to do with bad_pool_error.
Someone said it was something to do with the HD. And to format it. ok.. So i tried to make the backup disks.. But they didnt work. The last ones i made said they worked... But they didnt.

I formatted the HD and tried to use the disks. They wouldn't work.
So i brought vista home premium (full version).. i tried installing that and it came up with 'boot mng missing'. So i took in to get repaired under warranty.

They wont do it under warranty because its something software did. Apparently Vista stuffed it up or something. I have no idea. Now they want $500 to fix it!


Did all that make sense? lol

Could i just get a new hard drive? Or something?

delete the partition on the drive then make a partition before formatting it using the new vista disk then load vista.
