Hey everyone; looking for a little help from those more knowledgeable than I.
I have an Amilo Li 1816. On pressing the 'power on' button the Fujistu-Seimens loading screen appears as per normal, and then I am confronted with the following message:
A disc read error occurred
Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart.
Having consulted with others, I assume this means I need to reformat the HD. As my notebook came with Vista pre-loaded and no recovery discs I assume I have to do this from the recovery partition. Can anyone tell me which key it is I need to press during startup to get this recovery partition to kick into gear and reload everything back to factory settings? I realise that this will restore my notebook to how it was when I first bought it, hopefully solving my problem?
Any advice on how to get the damn thing to work again would be most appreciated. Thank you.
