Day Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 PC has no Internet browser, not even IE PC disc drive doesn't detect any disc PC does not detect USB sticks PC can detect my Apple Time Capsule (External Hard Drive) which has Internet explorer download on BUT PC crashes mid transfer every ******* time then loses connection to Time Capsule Mac can see PC and access its files but when I copy IE install file over I'm left on calculating time and doesn't transfer file then it knocks the Time Capsule offline so needs rebooting. PC came with Windows pre installed, it should be on a partition but its not there Ran system restore as I'm preparing PC for sale and that's what created all these ******* problems!!!

Shuff264 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Tried having a flick through of the bios? Maybe have a look at the wiring? You probably need to do a system restore again, you actually use all the correct disks to do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 I've done about 5 system restores now using different dates. I want to sell it so I went to reinstall windows, didn't come with a disc. I went through the thing and it came up with an error saying that the partition is corrupt or something so I thought sod it I'll just do a system restore, did that back to the earliest date and Chrome wouldn't open and it wiped Internet explorer from the system and wouldn't recognise discs or USB sticks. Ran system restore say 5 times using different dates each time and nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might have wiped "Windows Explorer" by accident Asside from that I'm not too sure what youve done, or hard drive failure if that partition actually is corrupt but its difficult to say with out seeing it, I'm just making guesses here. If its a hard drive failure it should even launch windows. You could always try installing a Linux kernel temporarily, Ubuntu is best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 First thing I do with a PC is open IE and download Chrome or Firefox then remove the shortcut from the desktop, I'd never uninstall it no matter how much I hate it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 We have lift off, for whatever reason my MacBook transferred Firefox on to PC, I'm downloaded some Microsoft fix it thing which has found a problem with the disc drive its fixing. Not come up with anything about the USB yet. Next up need to get the USB working and find a way of getting an .ISO file burnt onto a USB stick as I've got a copy of Windows 7 to reinstall.

San Fran Van Rams Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Have you tried re-installing the different drivers? Sounds like the disc drive one might have corrupted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
