ok I changed the bios setting to default and got the screen for entering Safe Mode

Clicked on Safe Mode and it starts loading a list of files then it goes to that "configuring updates Stage 3 of 3- 0% do not turn off your computer.

then laptop restarts itself

Yes do the same as when you got the "press to boot from CD" prompt

But first could you try safe mode with networking

Apologies, insert the USB
Reboot the computer
Press and hold F8 until you get the press any key prompt
Then press a key and see if the USB loads

If that fails then try Safe mode with Command prompt

We will use an mobile operating system called xPUD, and a script called rst.sh to restore your computer.

Download http://unetbootin.so...dows-latest.exe & http://noahdfear.net.../xpud-0.9.2.iso to the desktop of your clean computer

  • Insert your USB drive
  • Press Start > My Computer > right click your USB drive > choose Format > Quick format
  • Double click the unetbootin-xpud-windows-387.exe that you just downloaded
    Posted Image
  • Press Run then OK
  • It will install a little bootable OS on your USB
  • After it has completed do not choose to reboot the clean computer simply close the installer
  • Download the following tool and save it inside the bootableUSB
  • rst.sh
  • Remove the USB and insert it in the sick computer
  • Boot the Sick computer
  • Press F12 and choose to boot from the USB
  • Follow the prompts
  • A Welcome to xPUD screen will appear
  • Press File
  • Expand mnt
  • sda1,2...usually corresponds to your HDD
  • sdb1 is likely your USB
  • Press Tool at the top
  • Choose Open Terminal
  • In the open terminal window, type in the following:

    bash rst.sh
  • Press "Enter" and let it run uninterrupted.

    (The program lists available Restore Points and will save a report enum.log located in the USB drive.)
  • The program is finished when it say's "Done".
