If possible, try to change back whatever hardware or software change you just made this could be as simple as leaving a floppy disk in the drive or you need to recheck the cables. What if I made new changes that I want to keep? The quick test to make sure your OS installation is still good is to create an MBR and NTLDR on a floppy disk and check your partitions, this disk will check many of the partitions for a working windows installation.
Here are the instructions to do this:. Download my fix: Floppy fixntldr. Make the new boot disk: Floppy: Run the fixntldr. Click OK to overwrite the blank floppy disc in the working computer, you should see some screens about writing a new floppy disk. CD-R: extract the fixntldriso. Do you remember if the folder you had your Windows installation in was named "Windows"? Once your computer gets past the BIOS screen your computer should try to access the boot disk and you should see a black screen with white letters What if I don't see this screen?
Try it first, if it was the wrong selection, you will likely get one of these four errors:. Windows could not start because of a computer disk hardware configuration problem. Could not read from the selected boot disk. Check boot path and disk hardware. Please check the Windows documentation about hardware disk configuration and your hardware reference manuals for additional information. If you get the immediate reboot or some other weird error, try pressing F8 at the "1st Try This" selection screen, it will give you a prompt where you can select Safe Mode, and then try the "1st Try This" option again.
Safe Mode is a special "minimal" version of Windows that doesn't load certain parts of the operating system that might have caused the problem. One of the choices should eventually boot you back into Windows. What if none of the options worked? If you got back into Windows, stop whatever you are doing and backup your most important information from this computer. Now that you are done backing up the most important info, try to change back whatever you were last doing and boot normally, it that doesn't work, put the floppy back into the broken computer and double click the fixntldr.
That process take a few minutes, then remove the floppy and reboot. If you are using the cd or usb solution, copy the boot. Click OK twice. What if the bootdisk worked, but I can't get into Windows without it? What if I want to do further research? All done?
