If your computer continues to display the message “Operating system not found,” and Windows does not start, use your supplied System Recovery CD(s) to restore the software titles shipped with your computer. See “Using the System Recovery CD(s)” for more information.

The System Recovery CD restores your computer to its original state, so user data and applications will be lost.

Why does my computer stop responding or won’t turn off?

It is best to turn off your computer using the Turn Off Computer command on the Windows Start menu. Using other methods, including those listed below, may result in loss of unsaved data.

Click Start on the Windows® taskbar, select Turn Off Computer, and then click Turn Off.

If your computer does not turn off, press Ctrl+Alt+Delete simultaneously. When the Windows Task Manager dialog box appears, click Turn Off from the Shut Down menu.

If your computer still does not turn off, press and hold the power button for at least four seconds to turn off the power.

Unplug the computer from the AC adapter, and remove the battery from your computer.

If your computer stops responding while playing a CD or DVD, press Ctrl+Alt+Delete simultaneously. You can turn off the computer from the Shut Down menu.

Pressing the Ctrl+Alt+Delete keys simultaneously or turning off the computer with the power button may result in data loss in files that are currently open.
