Essexboy,
This is a follow on from a thread I created on 7th May this year. A quick summary might help:
- ACER laptop wasn’t booting and got stuck at aswrvrt.sys
- You kindly talked me through setting up the Reatogo desktop and getting the Acer to boot to from a USB
- I was supposed to run FSRT but didn’t because I was busy recovering the files from the sick Acer
I’ve now run FSRT and created the log file. Apologies but I couldn’t see how to attach it to a message so I’ve pasted it below:
