I have a 1005HA Eee PC that will not boot up :fou: . Since I have no CD drive I cannot use a CD and my USB port is read by PC, but I do not have a boot up disk on my USB drive.

What do I do? :pt1cable:
 
Hello RealtorRay;

Do you need to rescue any files off the hard drive?
That's assuming the hard drive is still working.

You can build a bootable USB drive that can act as a 'rescue CD'. You'll be able to browse your hard disk and copy off any data/personal files that can't be replaced to another USB thumb drive.
