I had to call e-machine support when my start up disc failed to load. They will tell you how to do it.

 

Just load the disc 1 in the tray and close the tray ... then disconnect power to computer for at least 1 minute. Then plug the cumputer back in. If it does not launch right away, press the POWER button it should start to load.

 

If that doesnt work e-machine has a number on the disc to call for support. At least they use to. I have ( 801) 401-1419 as there support number .... good luck.

Roxie, when it asks to output to a:ghosterr.txt, it is trying to save to a floppy disk.  If possible you can save it to a floppy and post the file up here for us to read, should help us work out a solution for you.

I HAVE A E-MACHINE. If you have any C/files they will be lost ... But go ahead and un-plug power for at least one-minute. reapply power and insert the 1st Restore disc and continue through all your discs. If it asks for administrator it will cue you to type in a NAME for the user and a password. Make sure you save the password somewhere. It sounds like one of the discs did not properly load and caused a failure.

Its worth a try. Lucky you have a e-machine. Other computers like Dell dont give you the restore discs and you have to pay for Windows XP or Vista. Or take it back where you bought it.
