Operating System Not Found
LockedPlease help. I refuse to put this PC down. She’s a Pc for a customer of mine. I will try to keep this short.
I put her drive on my usb to sata & IDE Adapter, Ran Avast, But in the Middle of scan Fricking, cute little Kitties Knoecked it off table. Don’t know if that did anything.
Ram Malwarbytes, forund 7 Trojans removed them tried to boot up the Unit but I receive an error “operating system not found”
Bios Disabled Network boot (keeping it short) Boot order HDD first
Here is what I have done within the Recovery council.
C: CD ..
C: ATTRIB -H C:\\boot.ini
C:ATTRIB -S C:\\boot.ini
C:ATRIB -R C:\\boot.ini
C: del boot.ini
C: BOOTCFG /Rebuild
C: CHKDSK /R /F
C: FIXBOOTStill operating system not found
WTF? I know it would be easiest to just swap out drives and reinstall and after hours of reinstalling, she would have her pc back. I would be known as “the last tech that worked on it, but all he could do was put in a new drive and move the files.
Well I want to be better than that. What can I do to get this fricking windows xp to boot up.
Oh and I also tried a inplace upgrade
