Need Boot Disk Windows Vista Home Premium

[VICTORIA]

Hi Brian, reluctantly I had refurbished drive installed. ( probably one from old laptop which had been ? cleaned ) I got fed up travelling back and forward into town carrying laptop. He charged me £20 and gave me what he said was drive that was removed from my laptop. Dont think it was my old drive as when I got home I had a look at date it said DOM 2012 ( ? date of manufacture )this could not be my old drive as I have had laptop for several years. Thinking of taking it to a computer engineer in a shop ( I just found ) closer to home to ask him if he can find any files on it, this will reveal if he lied to me.

 hi victoria what boot sequence means is what starts up first when pc starts up.  on your laptop you probably have a cd drive a hard drive (where vista is installed) the ethernet port is where you put your cable to connect to internet. looks like it was not set up to start from hard drive. what you have to do is hit delete on keyboard when laptop starts. you will be presented with a list ,at the top one should say boot. press enter you will get boot priority at the top,press enter. should have a list of boot priority 1,2 and 3.   do this then send me a message back

Thank you for your help. The laptop has been repaired now by engineer. I had it fixed for my grandson who needs it for uni. If he has any problems I will get back to you.

That's what I like to hear, hoping the laptop has found a loving home!
