How to Recover an MSI Laptop to Original Factory Settings eHow

The recovery disc is partitioned on the hard drive. when it boots up look for the verbage to tell you what function key to hit to run recovery. If this works then great. for me I had to email MSI, they replied back with a word document and I filled it out ordering a dvd of my recovery disc. it cost about $30.00. I had to do this because my hard drive crashed. working great now.

Your notebook does not see the proper boot files on your C drive. Many times the boot.ini has been corrupted.
You will need a Windows XP Install CD mounted in the CD Rom. When you boot the system you need to choose the CD as the boot device (if the notebbok does not do it by default) then typr R to enter the recovery console. Once you get the C: prompt you will need to create a new boot.ini file using the bootcfg command. See the following website for details in using the Recovery Console:
