Boot Problem [+REP!]

[scottish]

• Insert your Windows Vista Master Disk.
• When computer is starting up and still on the BIOS press whatever it sez to access the boot menu (usually f8 or f12).
• Then boot from disk.
• Then follow the disks instructions.

Try reading through threads before trying to get your post count boosted, it usually helps.

I know this is a late post, but I love technology and dont know if this solved or not. But Im good at fixing computers so here is what I need you to do before we go any farther.

I want you to turn off your system and let it reboot. As soon as you push the power button push the F8 key until a different window pops up. It will ask you if you wish to run in safe mode. hit Enter on that. It then should ask you what system. It could XP or VISTA. Click on VISTA and see what happens. If you get the bootmgr is missing do it in XP. If the XP part works you will need to insert your disk for Vista. If it doesnt open the download thingy just get to using my computer drive D:\. After you open do everyhting that you would normally do. BUT, after it installs, see if you can read everything it installed. You will then need to search for bootmgr or whatever it is. If you dont see it. Then make a copy cat file of it. If you dont know how to do that you will si ply need to tell me.

This is done and over with, I bought a PS/2 keyboard and it was reccognised by the BIOS

However, your soloution would have been no good as I was not able to get near vista at all, please do not bump, as it was sorted and please PLEASE read the thread before you post.
