A "start up disc"? Do you mean a Windows Vista install disc? You can probably purchase one anywhere online.
no its not a vista disc its got all the drivers in it its made for the model of laptop it comes with the machine i had it but its lost thanks anyway
Which drivers in particular do you need? You can probably find these online separately easily enough if you know.
the laptop will not boot its asking for recovery disc will not boot in any mode it needs the disc that came with it or one for that model thanks for your help ill try contacting higrade see if and how much it will be for a replacement disc thanks
Will not boot in to windows at all? If that's the case you probably need a Windows install disc to repair it anyway. But it sounds like you would be best to contact your manufacturer and see what they can do for you.
