Help with Insektors, Screwed me over

[Einstein]

Hi,
U can also do it by going into device manager & removing the IDE controller under hard disk controllers.
This reinstalls the IDE controller which does both the hard drives & cd-rom drives.

btw, HP's with XP normally have the restore facility on a partition on the hard drive.
This can be got at by pressing F10 when starting the machine.
U have to do it when the HP logo is displayed.
Keep pressing it & u should get the option on screen.

Regards,
Einstein
