[Boot Manager Missing]

Well, I tried the repair using the cd and still got the 'boot manager missing' message. I tried to reload the OS using the cd to no avail. Got tired went to bed. This morning I tried the reload again and it worked. I have no clue why it worked this am. I am sure I had been doing something wrong. This was going on over a week. Thanks guys, much appreciated.

[Boot Manager Missing]

Hello,

 

I think I need some help. I am unable to boot up my computer. I have tried the hard drive and I have tried the re-installation disk after changing the order to boot. I get the message: "Boot Manager Missing" hit Control, Alt Delete to restart.

 

I have a Dell Inspriron 530s running XP 32bit Intel® core ™2 duel cpu e4500

 

Any help will greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Richard

Do you have an xp disc?

 

Does the computer have a 'factory restore' drive?

 

Do you have all your docs backed up/copied somewhere else (e.g. usb flash drive or external hard drive?)

 

Has something happened to make you think about doing this, infections for example?

 

 

I haven't used this computer in several years. Nothing on it I want it is just slow slow because of all the unnecessery junk on it. i have pulled any useful stuff.

 

thanks
