    Windows recovery


    Today, my McAfee anti-virus software on my relatively new Dell Inspiron desktop had recently expired so I attempted to download some free Panda anti-virus software. When I hit download, the screen froze with a message like "Something didn't work". I couldn't get the screen to unfreeze so I unplugged the computer and started again. When I did, the computer went into Automatic repair and diagnosis. I've been unable to reset because I don't have my recovery key. It's not in my MS account. I couldn't find it when I tried command prompt. I trouble shooted with Panda tech support for an hour to no avail. Then I was somehow able to talk to a live Microsoft support person--a minor miracle in and of itself. She told me that if I don't have my recovery key, the only way to fix the problem is with a USB drive. I only had an external hard disc drive and she told me that wouldn't work. So I had to hang up and go buy a jump drive. Of course, when I got back, it was impossible to get a talk to a Microsoft support person even though I have a case number . I don't know how to use a thumb drive to get Windows going on my desktop. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    :)
