Thread: Operating System option not coming: Problem in booting?

From last night, suddenly my computer has stopped booting. I have Windows XP and Windows 2000 SP 4. Whenever I try to start, it shows the motherboard name. Then some other information pertaining to network devices come. But then when the operating system options used to come earlier, are not coming. The monitor simply goes blank with a single blinking cursor. What can be the reason and how can I recover from this?The configuration of my computer is given below.Intel Pentium IV- 2.4 GHz Processor (In-built LAN)Mercury Motherboard (Intel Chip Set- 845 GL)512 MB DDR1 RAM240 GB HDD (160 GB + 80 GB. 80 GB is the master but the operating systems are in the other hard disk.)LG CD ROM (52X)Sony DVD R/WFloppy Disk DriveSnazio TV Tuner CardI use AVG Antivirus Free edition, Spyware Doctor and AVG Anti-Spyware and AVG Anti-Rootkit. All are always up-to-date.Please help me.

need to fix mbr load os cd and select language and select repair

sounds to me like you need to either reinstall windows or repair windows. put in a windows cd first try the recover option if that doesnt work then u will have do a fresh install of windows.

or you can try, by making sure there are no disc installed in any of your drives. then start it again

Disconnect power to all other hard drives except the one with the MBR (drive C). It sounds like it's gettin confused with all the Active Partitions. Plug them back in after it boots properly.
