Rich Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Topic. Fired up Dad's Windows 7 powered Desktop this morning, well I tried to, damn thing wouldn't boot up, it kept saying "no operating system"! So I've been using the Laptop all day, which only has Windows XP. Anyway, is Dad's Desktop [removed]? Is there anything he can do? No LMGTFY links please.

PlayStation Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I had the exact same probllem a few week ago with my compaq desktop running windows 7. I booted the machine into recovery mode and selected start up repair where this also said no OS. So i pulled the plug on the machine, restarted it and it booted into windows perfectly fine and has ran fine ever since. Very strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianthedog Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I've heard of evil eBay vendors attacking people through their poorly secured routers. I think this is one of those cases... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmie92 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 If the OP had taken the time to create a 'system image' and made a 'repair disk' then he would probably be up and running in minutes. Back up your programs, system settings, and files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
