Thread: Fatal error Bios

Hello, I have a serious problem. I sold my old PC and the buyer wants to pick up tomorrow, so I hardly have time left. I tried to install Windows XP and reformat my PC and I'm at the point, can choose where you whether you want to install Windows XP in a specific partition or if you want to restore XP or if you want to delete certain partitions, accidentally the button of the DVD drive and have so been canceled the installation. I have now been tried in various ways to restart the PC again, but I get when the disc is not loaded with XP, the error message: reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected device and press a key Otherwise, I'm apparently the only option to install XP, but have not yet tried this, I delete all data formatting and access to those who have once again.

You install a new system and want more information than take it? Or I understand your confusion here somehow wrong? Cut the disk into your new PC, get the data, delete the new drive and installed XP.

Hello, no, sry. I noticed later that something does not work with my external so I must once again to the data. It's all a bit confusing. That goes with the conversion, since I bought a notebook. The system is still not re-installed, I only seem beside the error message now to install the new opportunity, but then all the data would be gone.

Hello, You pull a Linux image as gparted: gparted.sourceforge.net
Boats of it, mount your XP disk and an external drive and get you what you need even more. Then install XP again and read

The problem will be that the bootloader has been overwritten for the installation. Therefore, it would halt the easiest to attach the panel elsewhere. Alternatively, you can indeed using a Linux boot CD and restart the data mentioned on the external drive to copy from you.

This is with the attachments just hard because I have no other PC more. Your two suggestions I've tried that works well not exist. It is 30-40GB data.

Fixmbr does not bring you what you've got noticed. You should probably rewrite the boot.ini. But, I still think booting from CD (for you) the simpler method. And why do you think that it was not for 30-40GB of data goes, I can not quite understand. You must copy the data so anyway on the external disk?
