i have an asus x83v, it came preinstalled vista home prem, 2 partitions, one 150 gb for vista, then 150gb for data. 6 months ago shrunk the c: drive with vista about 10 gbs for Unbutu linux. Accidently formatted the unbutu partition, not windows dosnt load. black screen with blinking curser in top right corner of screen. Tried to use asus recovery cd, seems to start restore in first cd, but then after it requests for drivers cd, it reboots after installing drivers. Back to blank black screen wtih blinking curser. Restore cds arent working!! what do i do? I have alot of data on the data partition, but dont want ot lose all that data.
