Just need a USB drive or something that can boot the system to a command prompt. -- (link*) - budice Feb 23, 06:42
I found this but don't think I have the Windows recovery drive, whether it’s an installation USB or a CD/DVD...ideas? -- (link) - Beaker Feb 23, 06:16 7
- OK, when we get to step 3 and type in bootrec / fixboot it tells us ACCESS DENIED - so we can't finalize it.... -- nm - Beaker Feb 23, 06:48 4
  - It must have a BIOS lock on it. - spamlet Feb 23, 07:18 3
    - umm what is the BIOS? trying a workaround from youtube for this -- nm - Beaker Feb 23, 07:23 2
      - That’s where you would boot into to change the boot order to the USB first rather than the hard drive. -- nm - spamlet Feb 23, 07:24 1
        
        yeah we could get there and switched to the thund drive. Thanks for the help everyone, but likely call someone tomorrow, unless we get this - Beaker Feb 23, 07:29
- I posted on Facebook. That method will work as well. I couldn’t remember the name of the Rufus utility so I posted the direct MS page. -- nm - spamlet Feb 23, 06:18 1
  - got it, but I'm not seeing the option to use the thumb drive to boot?> -- nm - Beaker Feb 23, 06:31
