Re: User Partition Not found..XP recovery

You're probably going to have to get actual Windows installation CDs from your PC manufacturer. It's a sad fact in life that sometimes the restore utilities included with modern PCs don't work, and you're forced to do a standard OS reinstallation, using the media provided by your PC vendor.

Re: User Partition Not found..XP recovery

if you only have a recovery cd, I move stuff off to a usb drive. That is one reason I do not like recovery CDs.
