Well, it all begins with me buying this laptop about a year ago; it ran fine, was 15" screen size, quiet as anything, worked like a dream... Then of course, paying for it... Not a problem, paid all of the monthly payments to date...
Now, last night, I get an UPDATE from Microsoft's website (OH I DO HATE MS) saying that its an important update that needs to be installed... so, I thought, id Check the security settings on this "Update" so I did... It was an Service Pack Update, and turned out to be nothing harmless... (So I thought)
When I updated, turned the computer back on... Something, seemed different, but I couldnt put my finger on it... Until this morning, a problem arises and I need to reformat my laptop... BUT WAIT!!! I CAN'T... THAT UPDATE... Deleted my Recovery Drive Data... So Now Im left with NO POSSIBLE WAY to re-install Windows Vista, I dont even have the DVD (As no DVD came with the damn laptop itself... So im stuck with a computer, thats well.. "One Time Use")
I would really avoid... and seriously, keep away from laptops from A) PC WORLD and B) The Tech Guys...
The Tech Guys do NOT HELP at all... I phoned them up, my warranty is ONE HOUR OUT OF DATE AND THEY WOULD NOT HELP ME... PATHETIC!!! So im left with no choice, but to wait for this laptop to die until I have to buy a new one because of those... GAH im so angry right now...
