How do i reeboot my emachine ??? And no laughing
Be a little more specific please, in your PM you mentioned original factory settings. What is it exactly that you are trying to do?
A simple reboot is just holding down the power button long enough for it to turn off, or if all else fails pull the power cord. SOmething tells me you are wanting more though.
Click the Start Button and move the curson over "shut down". New window appears, choose "shut down" and click "OK".
Unless, as cleetus suspects, there is more to this.
Hey Cleetus: cool. ;-)
in reboot do you mean to reload windows. if that is the case. back up all files you want to keep to disk or cd or something. and then put the system restore disk in the cdrom drive. and then restart the computer and follow the one screen instructions.
Isn't this detective work fun?
Please elaborate on what you are trying to do?Quote:

i have got....
System restore disk(s)
ok , you have failed to tell us the make , or o/s.
backup any data you want to keep.
restart the machine , enter bios settup , and set first boot device to cd rom ,,
exit settup , saving settings
place restore disk in cd rom
and reboot.
dependant on mfg it may offer to install over orig , or completly install
press the relevant button ,,,and sit and wait

if you leave the proggy , and come to a dos prompt ,,are you at r: ,,? or if u are not , can you access drive r:
secondly ,
output A:\ghosterr.TXT ,it is trying to give you a txt file (written reason) for failing ,,,and in its owncryptic way ,,,because you cannot write to a cd , and the h/drive might be corrupt , the only place it can do this is to your floppy drive, put a floppy disk in the drive and see what it writes ,
from your cd , type ghostpe , or look in the directories for ghostpe , and run the proggy ,,,,wander around with the mouse and find 620.gho , and go for it,
if you are adament on the "Cannot open R:\620.gho" then it is possible that you have a dirty cdrom or a dirty drive
Here is what you do.
- Unplug your PC
- Put it in a box
- Get out your phone book
- Find the nearest local repair shop
- Get an Estimate
- Let them fix it.
Do what now?? :D

hey i'm only *3 i still have time to learn u crumbum :P
newhooooooo
still no idea waht to do :P
Please answer these questions and I will try my best to help.
- Do you have the instructions for the system restore?
- Are you sure the System Restore Disk you are Using belongs to the Machine you have.
- When you Turn the machine on with the restore disk in the drive. Does the Machine Start Windows XP?
The solution to this issue is to disconnect the DVD rom from the machine.
1. Remove the ribbon cable going into the back DVD drive
2. Remove the ribbon cable going into the back of the CD drive
3. Plug the end of the ribbon cable that was previously in the DVD drive into the CD.
Check the bios for the boot order if it won't boot from the CD.
Off you go!
i do believe there is a hidden partition on the emachines all models, press f12 i think on the post screen where it says emachines in large letters and run the complete reinstall from there if there is still an issue if you have a floppy drive save the ghosterr.txt file on to a floppy and if possible open on another machine you might find the reason why there is an error:thumbs:
