I just got a client's "crashed" computer restarted through email. Ask
me anything.

He took his computer back to Germany a couple of weeks ago, suddenly this morning he couldn't start it. Upon boot, the message - rough translation - "Invalid system disk ..........." came up. I thought OMG.

So I said to myself "C.G., mellow out. You are a God." So after I remembered who I was, I thought about it - with smoke coming out of my ears - hmmm. *Gears turning, mumble mumble .... C.G., it probably isn't a virus because the AV hasn't expired - yet. Then it came to me! "OH! I'll bet he has a non-bootable disk in his CD Drive."* So I emailed him back and said "Is there a CD in your CD drive? If so take it out and try re-booting it." He got back to me and said "Hey C.G. it worked!"

I think it was more of a concern that somehow or other his settings got switched. I just sent him back an email on how to re-configure his BIOS settings too!

Once again, the heavens have rejoiced!!
