My Windows 7 machine just started hanging on boot up.
I am able to get to safe mode and the last file that it tries to load is ASWARDISK.SYS
I have tried a repair disk that I created from Gateway but the only options are to repair OS or System Restore. Neither of these are the options I would like to use. I wonder if during an Avast update if the driver could has been damaged? I would like to understand if I have options vs a complete rebuild and losing my data?
Thanks for any direction
