Device not booting and Windows XP issues
Device not booting and Windows XP issues
Hello! I’m facing an issue with my old PC that runs Windows XP. It uses a very small computer with a CF card, but the Windows installer is no longer working. I had a backup and restored it onto a new CF card, yet it won’t boot—just shows “missing operating system.” I also tried swapping cards without success and checked various BIOS settings, but nothing changed. I’m looking for some advice to help resolve this.
Was die Sicherung ein vollständiger Festplattenabbild sein? Ist der Laufwerk als MBR formatiert und wurden das MBR sowie der Bootloader korrekt geschrieben? Ist die neue CF-Karte im Festplattenmodus festgelegt?
Thank you for the response. I attempted both fixed and removable solutions, but there was no assistance. The backup is a full disk image. It appears the MBR is intact since I can boot from a standard computer, though it displays a blue screen afterward, making it non-functional.
Thanks for your response! The CF card was dead, but I can see the new one or one borrowed from another machine on the BIOS. So far, nothing has appeared. My friend mentioned booting an XP and seeing a blue screen, which might mean the hardware issue is related to the device. Is there any workaround for this?
It implies the device might be defective. You could attempt reinserting any detachable part or replacing the RAM.
It might have been the adapter that handled itself and removed the card. This occurred on a 98SE using a low-quality IDE-CF adapter.
