Hi thomas, is this solved now?

Bud, look at this Microsoft Knowledge Base Article (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307545), looks like it could be useful to you.
It basically suggests some system file and registry editing to sort...

Check this site http://tinyempire.com/notes/ntldrismissing.htm I think it's got what you need to fix your problem. Do let us know back here if it works.

Hey bud,

This is what Microsoft's website says:

* Use either the graphical user interface (GUI) or the shutdown command again.
* Press CTRL+ALT+DELETE, and then while pressing CTRL,...

Uh oooh, someone's going to have to go sit on the naughty step...

I don't know if you saw the reply below before Tim but I suggest you follow the advice and then post back here if there are any further issues. Goodluck

Indeed well done mate. Hopefully with detailed steps then someone else who gets this problem will know what to do.

Yea if you can't view previous emails then it probably means all the email is saved on your computer alone. Bummer! It's a shame that SCANPST.EXE didn't work either.

Is it possible that there's...

I agree with Suspishio, and indeed what everyone else has said. If all forms of repair haven't worked, a re-install is the next step, but then this is not guaranteed to fix the problem if your PST is...

But I still find it odd that it would work, then not work... have you heard of Slipstream, or a Slipstream CD?

Right. Maybe a faulty IDE cable then? I mean that would be an easier problem to solve than having to re-configure the BIOS to see the drives, which I've had to do before *nightmare*

Hi bottersbach
Have you checked in the BIOS menu, maybe there's something there that needs changing? Sounds like the board doesn't like not having two HDs anymore...

Which part "didn't work"? You'll have to be more specific. Also have you tried the other software suggested?

Hey there, have you checked the Microsoft website, or maybe given them a call? I can't think of any other way to get your bootmgr, oh, or Dell. Sorry can't be of much help.

Wow sag, that sounds like a real bummer. The only other thing that I can think of, is to connect your computer to a network physically (i.e. use an ethernet cable) at home. Try that and see if the...

So you can chat... therefore you ARE connected. But you can't browse straightaway so it seems like you are NOT connected.

Is there any way that there is something wrong with the initial...

No problem mate. ;o)

Hey there, I think you're on the right track. The one thing I would point out is that code (source code) not only determines what the software does, in some cases it also determines HOW it does it....
