I was experiencing random system lock-ups, and decided to recover using my factory recovery disks. The process will not run, after selecting restore to factory out of the box, the system just stops. HDD is momentarilly accessed and then nothing for up to 12+ hours. I have tried a new hard drive, and sometimes the process will run for about 10 minutes, sometimes longer, but it always stops and sits for 12+hours. I am able to load Windows XP Pro from my Dell recovery disk for my desktop, though I cannot load all of the necessary drivers for my network card, wireless, etc. That is the part that has me puzzled. I also have removed my memory upgrade and new HDD, and still nothing. Acts exactly the same with new and old hardware. This didn't seem to be a problem with the disks, as it would lock-up, not get an error reading the disks. So, I disassembled everything and removed the heat-sink on the CPU. Cleaned the heat-sink and CPU, including the fins on the heat-sink, re-applied thermal grease, and reassembled everything. Plugged in the battery and charger, turned the computer on and booted to the recovery disk. The recovery copied all the files to the harddrive, then about 30-50% of the way through the next step it locked-up again. The time remaining was about 4 minutes. Now I am back to where I was before. When I select recover to out of the box, it starts the initialization process, accesses the HDD for about 1-2 seconds, then everything freezes. When it freezes even the cursor is frozen on the screen and no HDD activity. I am almost positive the problem has to do with heat, but the computer is not overheating, if that makes any sense. I am able to get all of the files copied to the harddrive and once the restoring files process begins, it will hang up with anywhere from 00:10:00 minutes remaining to 00:01:00 minute remaining. Of course, if I attempt to boot from the HDD I get the message BOOTMGR missing. Does anyone know what the command is that "unpacks" and "joins" all of the files after they are copied to the HDD? I can see all the .swm files, and the computer is telling me that all of the files are copied to the HDD. I would like to "recover" the files from a cold start without having to start the process from the beginning. I own a Satellite A135-4677, PN PSAD0U-0N700P.

The issue is that her sister-in-law borrowed the laptop. Long story short when she got the laptop back it turns on and ask "Enter Current Password:" well when she tries to enter her old password no luck. The borrower has not been to be contacted. I purchased a recovery disk off Ebay. I have selected F12 with disk in, and I can see the disk being accessed but the enter password screen comes up. Do you have any advice? Thank you Charles Hi
