When I tried to recover using the original recovery cd &amp; following the instruction manual, the system would not enter the recovery process &amp; simply allowed windows to startup. Have tried e-support but they are either too busy or can't be bothered to reply. Help please!<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 12 May 2005 21:05:46 GMT https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/pcg-505g-recovery-problem/m-p/86655#M110603 fritzard 2005-05-12T21:05:46Z Re: PCG-505G recovery problem https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/pcg-505g-recovery-problem/m-p/86656#M110604 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>start the computer with the install cd in the drive and opt for start computer with cd support. use fdisk to delete the partition you want to install on, then create a partition and set active. reboot with cd in drive and opt to setup.<BR /><BR />i have only had experience with 98se, but i am an accomplished crasher of systems having refurbished mine at least , well, let's just gloss over that.<BR /><BR />good luck<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 13 May 2005 00:30:02 GMT https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/pcg-505g-recovery-problem/m-p/86656#M110604 lazybones 2005-05-13T00:30:02Z Re: PCG-505G recovery problem https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/pcg-505g-recovery-problem/m-p/86657#M110605 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>It's always best to upgrade Win9x from scratch<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 13 May 2005 12:22:09 GMT https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/pcg-505g-recovery-problem/m-p/86657#M110605 kee-lo_ 2005-05-13T12:22:09Z Re: PCG-505G recovery problem https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/pcg-505g-recovery-problem/m-p/86658#M110606 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Sorry for the delay in replying but thanks for the advice.
