Win XP Home
Hi
I've just had to boot from my product recovery CD due to the message
"no system disk"..... I know it's not a lot to go on but what the heck you
never know. I'll be expecting blue screens next.
Any ideas?
TIA

Choose the number corresponding to your XP version and enter your
Administrator Password (then press enter).
After that you'll see a command prompt...enter the following command:
bootcfg /rebuild" command to fix boot.ini.
FIXBOOT will fix the boot sector on the boot drive,
FIXMBR will fix the master boot record if the NT loader
complains of a missing HAL or unmountable boot volume.
After the process is completed enter the command EXIT to quit (and the
system should auto reboot OK from that point onwards...
***try the fixboot command****

Thanks peter
You wont believe it, my missus left a floppy in the drive, I took it out and
Piff..paff..poof...Hey presto!....somebody's got to love'em....Tee hee!
I've never come across that before as I've never left in a floppy disk, I
hope that's all it was? I've re-booted 3 times now and it's been alright
fingers crossed.
Thanks again

You can avoid this by entering the system BIOS and setting your first
boot drive to be the hard drive that XP is installed on rather than
the floppy drive.
