@tjflanigan1 If you installed Office yourself, then yes, it will delete the software files (not your personal files that you backed up though). If Office was pre-installed on your PC (it was there when you first bought it and turned it on), then it will be there after recovery. The system will be returned to the same way as when you first turned it on.

@TheSelfishEffect The steps would be different, but if you have an HP PC that shipped with XP, you can recover it too. Just search HP’s web site for instructions.

@howto4u CAN I DO THIS FOR XP ?

@howto4u I don’t remember updating the bios. I looked it up on Hp n it sounds like the bios is corrupt. It said if the light is flashing in the caps lock number lock, u might have a corrupted bios. I just don’t know how to get it to fully start over with no screen or key board. My portable key board don’t work either when i plug it in the usb. Thanks for your time. I don’t know if it’s something in the mother board that i can loose n attach again to make it work.

@howto4u It had stop waking up one day. I let it just run n after a while, it just came on by itself. Every time it took longer to come on. I put never sleep. I set it to wake in the task schedule. But i think i had to change it back to sleep. It still seems like it’s sleep trying to wake. If i can get it back to start fully, then i can recover. The keyboard n screen not working. I can’t get to anything. It sounds like the dvd is trying to work. Blue light is still red for internet.

@rossdaboss1959 Did you update the BIOS before this happened? Did you get a virus? Any idea when this started happening or what possibly caused it?

I know how to recover. But my screen is black n my keyboard is not working. I think i have a corrupt bios.Lights come on i hear the fan, then it goes off. I see lights, but it never make it to blue light from red on internet button. hear the dvd trying too work. It spins n turns off. I reset rams, hard drive already. Is there anyway to get pass the point? I have hp dv7 1245dx.The start up disc can’t work. No signal going to screen or keyboard. caps lock light flashing.one time screen came on.
