[AT] off topic computer died

[Dean Vinson]

Cecil, I don't know if this is the same issue you're having or not, but
sometimes my PC freezes up upon startup and just sits there with a blue
screen.  When it was still under warranty the manufacturer's service rep
walked me through a procedure I've since done quite a few times to fix it.
I take the case off, remove the battery (about the size and shape of a
nickel, maybe a quarter), and let it sit for a few minutes.  Then I put the
battery back in, put the case back on, and restart.  Always works, although
I have to reset the clock every time.

My main Gateway laptop will not boot up it gets a blue screen.  My wife was 
trying to load a autocad training disc and left it and then reinserted a 
disc she had found in the drive which was to a chinese made MP2 player.  I 
need to get a windows repair disc to reboot the computer without losing 
everything that is on it..  I read about how to build a bootr disc and then 
get lost.  Can any of you guys walk me through this, or is there a web site 
that I can understand.?
