Welcome to the forum Owen...

Perhaps if you posted what's gone wrong, someone could help.

In the meantime, here's a link to Sylvania's Smartbook page, with links to user guides.

I don't have one of these, but as far as I can tell it will boot from a flash drive if it's inserted before you turn it on. Do you have a flash drive with something on it to boot to?
