"Cannot Determine Partition Settings" HELP!
OK I always leave my computer on and for some strange reason, when I came home, it was off. I was like OK maybe I had a power surge or outage. So I go to turn on my computer and as I look at the screen it gives me the error saying "Error loading Operating System". So I automatically knew something was up. My computer then restarted. After it restarted I went and got my factory reinstall disks. When I put them in I got a error saying "Cannot Determine Partition Settings". This has happened before and for some reason one time it worked. I don't know why but it isnt working now. So I called up my friend and he gave me his install disks to his dell **NOTE** I have a Sony Vaio PCV-RS322**END NOTE** and recovery disks worked good but, I HATE DELL. So I want it off ASAP. Also, the more important reason why I want my computer back to original settings is because I got a couple of programs and games that came with my computer that I need (like microsoft word). So I hope I gave a clear undertstanding of my problem. Thanks for the help. Peace.
