    I'm trying to remove all current software from the laptop and then reinstall it again. Here in the UK we call this a wipe and reload. You perhaps refer to this as reformatting. I'm just not able to find the command to let me do this. Can you help?

    Thanks,
    stueey

What do you exactly mean "to wipe the harddisk drive"? are you referring to 'format'?

Verify in the computer CMOS, that the first boot option is your DVD/CDROM unit. To enter the CMOS turn on your computer and press the F2 or Delete key of your keyboard. The key change depending the computer manufacturer. Normally the computer show for some seconds in the monitor the correct key to enter to the CMOS or BIOS.
When you enter to the CMOS, look for the Boot Order section and adjust it.

I was wiping the hard drive when the laptop
Please come back to us with the exact error if you get any.

However, how you are performing recovery. Using recovery manager or recovery discs?

If you are using recovery manager, please perform hard drive self test and check with the result.

Hard drive self test steps:

1. Turn Off the notebook.
2. Turn ON the notebook and keep tapping F10 key
3. Once you are in BIOS, navigate to tools/diagnostics tab with the help of left and right arrow key.
4. You will find Primary HDD self test or HDD self test.
5. With the help of up and down arrow key select the respective test and hit enter.
6. Short test will take only 4-5 minutes. However, long test may take 40-60 minutes.

If the hard drive is fine, try to perform recovery using recovery discs....

If still the problem exists try with different discs.

If the hard drive fails replace the hard drive.

Hope this will work for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

Run check disk for hard drive errors. I recommend immediately backing up all your data that you can, wiping it, and reinstalling your programs. The rebooting problem smells like a bad hard drive. I just went through it with a Compaq at work.

Wiping the hard drive
i presume you have not formatted the drive yet. first make sure there is a restore partition on the drive.... after that go into the start menu and look for a menu item called restore or restore tools .... i'm not 100 % familiar with that computer but the basics of restoring the system are generic.

Medion laptop screen goes dark?
Shure 'nuff. Sounds like either the inverter or backlight. I would go for the inverter as that seems to be the more common item to fail, it usually is cheaper than the backlight, and easier to replace.
If you need to directed to an online maint manual, let me know.

Updates not installing
I have found, depending on the update, that downloading them manually to your desktop, then installing them from there usally does the trick. Just write down the KB number of the update and go to http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/Search.aspx and download.
