I got this message after trying to format my hard-drive. I've done many of these before(format & clean insatll), never had this problem. anyone have any Idea's. Also, when booting up the first time, had fatal exceptions errors and was booted into safe mode before all drivers and hardware was ditected. Any help would be great, Thanks!! |

The reason I am asking in most Compaq's and in some Laptops a small partion is setup on the hard drive that emulates and stores system configuration files and acts as a virtual ROM so to speak. By formatting the drive with this partition you may corrupt the settings in that partition or alter it in such a way that it is no longer functional, thus having to download a set of utility and diagnostic disks in order to set it up or repair it. |

Message générique losqu'il n'y a pas de boot possible. A l'origine (juste après l'âge de pierre), la rom bios embarquait un "BASICA" d'IBM qui permettait de gérer le système en ligne e commande. Copywrit oblige (et royalties), il a disparu des bios actuels et donc si pas de boot message pas de basic ... REMEDE : DOS : boot sur floppy, fdisk, boot sur floppy, format c: /S WINDOWS XX : boot sur CD (si bios le permet), sinon, boot sur disquette(s) d'install LINUX : boot sur CD (si bios le permet), sinon, boot sur disquette(s) d'install |
