Need help with an Emachines

[Terryl]

OK guy's, I need some help with this one. <br />
<br />
It's a friends Emachine, it FUBARD one day and he tried to fix it himself, now I have it, I had to format the &quot;C&quot; drive due to a nasty problem that would...

I dont have windows 7 home to do that, also you need all the motherboard and hardware drivers if you do this.

The big problem with Walmart Emachines is that they don't come with recovery disks, if you want them you have to buy them from the manufacture, and they have to be the OEM software or the computer wont run right.

The recovery goes OK (all drivers and hardware works), except for the error I posted, if I can fix that file it may work.

It's an Emachines EL1852G-52, with Windows 7 home on it.

And you can format the "C" drive without wiping the reserved "D" drive with the backup operating system on it,(if you know what your doing) thats the part that I think needs fixing, but I have tried everything I can find on the web to do so.

Next step is to remove the drive and put it in the disk test setup, that way I can do things to it that cant be done inside the PC while it's running.

Things like point my .44 magnum at it and tell it to work nice or it will go by by, tie it to the back wheel of my 4x4 and go for a ride, use a bigger stick on it, things like that there.
