Smash Ace
I used Paragon Partition Manager to shrink my main volume and get some unallocated space. It asked me to reboot and then when it did it started up and booted but before the vista logo appeared, the screen went blank for ages but the power, wifi lights at the base of my laptop were on (green) but the Numlock, Caplock, Scroll lock buttons near my keyboard were not on. I realised that nothing would happen so had to force switch it off by holding the power button.
From there I switched it on again and a command prompt appeared saying "Interrupted Operation, please insert recovery CD or other media"
Problem is, and I laugh out loud about this, is that I never made a recovery CD, foolishly, but I did backup my computer so I have a .tib recovery file (40GB!) in my external hard drive. What the **** do I do now?
BTW I have backed up most of my personal data to my external hard drive, thank goodness. Also my laptop is a Sony Vaio VGN-N31S running on Windows Vista HP- if you wanted to know.
PLease help me, though I try to keep my calm about this.
