I have problems with starting respawn software from an USB stick that I created.

I can boot the USB stick it searches the drives, I can run the command prompt.

But when I choose the option for Alienware respawn it gives me an error. I still have the rescue partition and the USB I made from within windows.

I just dont know where to go from here. Is there an option to create a working boot disk with Alienware respawn and use the computers restore partition?

Apperantly I had to use the left USB port. When I did the Alienware respawn software started by default.

Now I just pray that I did not Mrs anything up when I tried to get it working earlier.

That happened to me when I had also created an additional folder on the USB drive whilst using it with my desktop PC. Removing it so that the USB drive only had the files/folders created by alien respawn fixed it for me.
