I am pretty non-computer literate so please elaborate on what the difference is between burning the iso file to CD and creating a CD from the iso file.
I clicked on the link above and it opened to Nero (already had it on my computer) and I burned the CD. I put the CD in and held down the 'c' button while the laptop was booting up and I could hear the drive reading the CD and the light was blinking but then it just opened to the black screen like before (Safe Mode/Prompts/Commands, Last know Config, Normal) when no CD was in the drive.
I used the ESC key to change my boot options to CD first but the computer isn't reading the CD and still goes straight to the black screen. is that not BIOS? how do I get there? I can get it to open to the Recovery screen, with the restore (erase everything off your computer and put it back to factory settings) option with the toshiba CD but not this burnt one. should I do something different or did I not burn it right?
OH... and I should let you know I finally got to read the blue screen of death. here's what was printed:
STOP: c0000218 {Registry File Failure}
the Registry Cannot Read the hive (file):
\SystemRoot\System32\Config\SOFTWARE or its log or alternate
It is corrupt, abscent or not writeable.
Beginning dump of physical memory.
Physical memory dump complete.
Contact your system administrator or technical support group for further assitance.
thanks!
