I have an Acer Travelmate 42XX(Sorry, I can’t remember the full numbers, it’s not with me right now.) And one day it just crashed. I started it back up and gave me an error about operating system can not be found. Eventually I got my hands on an Windows XP? installation disk, and tried reinstalling. It started loading just fine, and then it right before going into the the Term’s and Agreement, the blue error screen came up subjected on partmgr.sys. I’ve tried various windows disks, and all of them do the same thing. Though, I can install Linux with no problem at all. I’ve formated the drive plenty of times by other means. And still no windows. I can’t really live off of only a Linux distro. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advanced.
