...On my Asus Essentio desk unit. Six year of daily use, then one morning last week (leaving it on overnight) I found it locked in mid-boot. (So why did it try to boot itself..??) The Asus recovery disc loads, but the system can't read the HD (sees it as 0 MB in bios), so I am unable to recover the system, no matter how I approach it.
Okay, bought a new HP, set it up for my daily use, then settled down to work on the Asus. I have the key for the OEM software (Win 7), and thought I could get an install file (ISO) from MS for it. But so far, no good.
I've never installed a hard drive - not a computer geek by any means - and so I'm not sure what I'm facing with an OS install, assuming I can get the software somewhere. Your thoughts and advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance to a great group of people..!
