I did a lazy repair on my moms laptop when she bricked it a few mounths back. I used the backup partiton it is F10 during bootup -THIS IS FOR SONY. hope this helps some people Cheers -Jon

BudzWRX	Posted - 2007.12.07 02:54:00 - [3] Originally by: Creditz Originally by: Ddeathwife Originally by: VossKarr I find this an easier suggestion: Quote: If you installed the premium patch and didnt reboot yet there's an easy fix. 1. Locate your "boot.ini.backup" file in C:\WINDOWS\pss . 2. Copy it to your desktop. 3. Delete the ".backup" extension so teh file is named "boot.ini" 4. Copy your brand new shiny boot.ini to your root directory. (in most cases c:\) This worked for me but my backup file was named BOOT.BAK and it was a hidden file in the C:\ drive. ok i found it and have it on desktop..where do i copy it to now? i am not understanding the last part i guess. rename it to boot.ini click my computer then C: click tools > folder options click the view tab uncheck hide system files if you see boot.ini in there then copy the boot.ini to your c drive when it asks you if you want to replace the file tell it yes and your done if its not in your c drive do a search for boot.ini

BudzWRX	Posted - 2007.12.08 00:33:00 - [8] Originally by: kc8yho Edited by: kc8yho on 07/12/2007 07:20:36 read carefully it wipes out the c:\boot.ini c"\ inoperable and the second partiton all comes in operable including my hd linked to my comp by usb it made all crash and my usb hd wont work at all which had the customer info, it ran off of boot.ini along with windows , on c: Therefore cust data and web site lost not ran from same computer just linked to it game cannot technically access info but if info on main hd is toasted for the shadow copy of windows so is the usb hd.! both had to be formatted and reinstalled. ccp better start crediting massivly S.*h.it, due to the simple fact they knew way before hand and then released it early without beta testing it fully first and fu.cking all us and it is illegal in the us due to the fact its neglect, and frivilant software if it can crash a system or cause damage to a system not of their own then by the computer piracy and crimes act of 1983 its considerd a computer crime or illicit virus" frivilous in meanings and a fuc.k.up on their behalf if anyof us ever have to pay for a eve subscription again or a fuc.k.ed up patch ill sue there a.s.s.and im in the law buisness. READ THE TOS you have no legal recourse. Second your explnation of how you had a usb harddrive linke to your computer makes no sence.

What if you are american and shut down for the night on the patch, cause of the fact that they informed nobody of their critical error until at least a good 6 hours after the patch? Then you boot up and it will take easy 5 minutes to fix it?[/quote yes 5 minutes
