Thanks Haydent (PM sent), for the great help
Ive been waiting for a SATA to USB adaptor that arrived today.
Did what you suggested and renamed those AVG file extensions.
The computer then booted and went into a lengthy self diagnoses.
Its now working as normal, and given me a chance to do a BU, which typically I was a bit slack with.
So much for the computer repair company in town that after a quick look said it wasnt worth fixing!
Not sure about AVG anymore? I never had a problem uptill this
