yeah but he cant do that because his hard drive has collapsed, loosing all data and operating system. F8 Function is a windows function which only works when u have windows, the only way to recover the data is to pay £100 to one of those proffessionals that take aprt the hard drive and recover the data. | |

Yeh, I think you press F8 when booting up and this should give you a list of booting options. | |

best thing to do is check the drive in another pc. best check this before you go formatting it or chucking it away. as you may have some crucial data saved on it. | |

hard drive is failing, this means that u need a new one. U will have to reformat and start again, u could reuse this drive if u want but it isnt very reliable. | |
