: Steve, : I think i'll buy another hard drive. The only way out of this problem is to somehow geta program to rewrite an unknown boot sector. : Thnx : Gav : -------- : : : I have never dealt with that kind of problem. Can you put FDISK on a floppy disk, perhaps you can boot from a floppy and then run FDISK or something like that? : : Good luck! : : Scott : : : : : : Steve : : : I have done as advised just incase and appeared not to be the problem, The actual problem lies in the hard disk boot sector 0 where as the hd is corrupt. I am unable to run "standard" fix disk programs. Is it possible to get a program to rewrite the boot sector like the fdisk program (this fails to work by the way) : : : Thanks for your assistance : : : Gavin : : : : : : disk boot failure results from not having a disk too boot from when you turn on your pc. If you are trying to boot from your hard drive, you should make sure all of the cables are plugged in properly and completely. Then check in the bios settings to make sure the hard drive is setup correctly in there. if you still have problems, let me know. : : : : : on turn the pc on the following appears: : : : : : "disk boot failure, please insert system and press enter" : : : : : i have run "fdisk /mbr" to find out that there is "no fixed disk present" and i`m unable to access drive c:\ which is rather fustrating !? ? ?!?!!? : : : : : Please assist in recommending a program which could rewrite my boot sector to i can gain access. : : : : : contact me at gavin@merrydown.plc.uk
