If your computer continues to display the message “Operating system not found,” and Windows does not start, use your supplied System Recovery CDs to restore the programs that shipped with your computer. See “Using the System Recovery CDs” on page 45 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? Why can’t I turn off my computer?

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

Click Start on the Windows® taskbar, and select Shut Down. When the Shut Down Windows window appears, make sure Shut down is selected, and click OK.

If your computer does not turn off, press the Ctrl+Alt+Delete keys simultaneously. When the Windows Security dialog box appears, click Shut Down, and select Shut Down again from the Shut Down Windows window.

If your computer still does not turn off, press and hold the power button or slide and hold the power switch until the computer shuts down.

If your computer stops responding while playing a CD or DVD, press the Ctrl+Alt+Delete keys simultaneously. You can turn off the computer from the Windows Security dialog box.

Pressing the Ctrl+Alt+Delete keys simultaneously or turning off the computer with the power button or switch may cause loss of data.

Remove the AC adapter and battery.
