My sorry Asus
(1/1)
Clive:
My Asus laptop has bitten the dust after a Windoze update last year and will no longer boot up. It offered to re-install Windoze but gave up after just 2%. I have no intention of throwing good money after bad as it was a cheap and nasty computer all along. Instead I plan to take Mrs Clive's aging Dell into the local computer shop to get a new HDD installed. The Dell is far better quality than the Asus. ::)
Simon:
You mean a new SSD. ;)
GillE:
Could you install a Linux OS on your Asus and keep it as a backup?
Clive:
I suspect the HDD is knackered Gill. I can't boot into safe mode, DOS or anything for that matter. At least the Dell still works and all Mrs Clive has to do is delete a load of files she no longer wants. Windows has tried to repair the Asus and re-install itself but nothing works.
