The fail to load from cd rom simply means there is not a disc in the drive its meaningless. As it appears he is getting the option of safe mode the disc is seem its just corrupt so my advice is a repair install

There is a complicated way of running a system restore from recovery console if you fancy a challenge

Just to confirm I get to then screen which offers safe mode, last know good configuration, etc etc but which ever option I chose it just goes back to the load windows screen and then CR rom failure as mentioned in my first post.

Problem is the PC is old and mum has not got any of the original discs such as windows etc.

Any more ideas gratefully received.

Many thanks

Mike
