    ASUS Notebook N81Ve/N81Vp series

    Intel Core 2 Duo CPU @ 2.66 GHz

    RAM: 4.00 GB

    Vista 32-bit

    I need help i got a virus on my laptop and so I used the recovery disk for the laptop to reset it to factory settings and that disk worked. I then put in the driver disk and that brought up a command prompt window that stayed their for about 5mins then that went away and the ASUS screen flashed. then I got a disk read error occured Press Ctrl/Alt/Del to restarn. I called asus support and they said the driver disk was messed up so I ordered a replacement. I just got it and used it and boom the same message popped up.


    So is the new disk messed up as well? Or is something wrong with my laptop?

    I would try either disk, and copy the entire contents an external hard drive; attached to another computer. If either copies you can run it from the external hard drive,

    Hard to belive 2 bad disks but possible. Once U get it running create a disk image with win 7 or a thrid party software to an external hard drive, eliminating the need for ASUS recovery programs, disks, etc
