Thank you for your prompt response. However. I am contacting you from my cell phone. The laptop’s hard drive completely failed and I couldn’t even open it in safe mode. I now have a new drive in it and no other computer here. Can I access bios and have it boot from there since I have no way of downloading anything unless it’s with my cell phone.
please let me know, and thank you again for your help
