My HP with windows Vista will not boot. Every time intrude, it just cycles betweennthe in to a lot HP screen and the WIndows progress bar. It's interrupted before windows can even boot.
I'm pretty surebinpicked up a virus when my AV program was unable to start (unrelated issue)
I know there's a recovery partition on it, but idk how to access it. When I hit f10 from the initial HP screen (system recovery), I get this message:
Edit Windows boot options for: Microsoft Windows Vista
Path: \windows\system32\winload.exe
Partition: 1
Hard disk: cab10bee
[/noexecute=optin]
When I Press enter, I expect to see a windows recovery environment, but instead it just tries to boot from the C: drive like normal and cycles back to the initial HP screen.
Does this mean my recovery partition is corrupted and no longer accessible, too?
P.S. Ive already bought a replacement PC, but I wanted to try One last time to recover the old one before formatting the HDD.
