MBR error

by blitzkrieg409 | November 22, 2008 2:06 AM PST

When I try to load my laptop up, the screen stays like it does in a command prompt, and it says "MBR Error" and then "No operating System found" when I've already installed Windows on it. Please help!

Tried Running FixMBR From The Recovery Console?
by Grif Thomas Forum moderator | November 22, 2008 4:00 AM PST

Boogle it..

That's assuming you have Windows XP ...which you haven't told us.

Hope this helps.

How To Run FixMBR
by Grif Thomas Forum moderator | November 23, 2008 3:03 AM PST

Apparently, you didn't try Google at all.. For example, here's the second link I found after typing "FixMBR" into Google. The instructions will tell you how to run FixMBR from the Recovery Console:

http://askbobrankin.com/fix_mbr.html

Please try those instructions.

Hope this helps.
