    I've got over that problem after cleaning the disks, the cd drive tray... etc and I have managed to recover the computer. It says finished and then reboot. When I reboot, a screen comes up saying "setup is applying system settings" and I'm stuck at that screen. Ive had that screen for 2 hours or more so it seems like it's never going to go! What can I do?

    BTW: Ive got the screenshot of the screen that I'm stuck at as an image file but how do I upload it here if you want to see?
