Error Loading Operating System continued. Have a CD that does a set up process, but can't figure out how to do the recovery console since I don't want to format a partition with set up.

SOLUTION FOUND. Forward to 2:00 in the video and press R. If given the option press 1 and enter. For whatever reason I wasn't given that option, but was taken to the C prompt and typed fixmbr. You get a Caution, just type Y. It takes a second to do. Then type exit and do the steps above again to take you to the set up page. Type R and then 1 and enter if given the option. Then type bootfix and Y after the warning. Then type exit and on the bootup do not hit anything and it should reboot on its own to windows XP. It worked for me.

Hope this video helps others.

  • Always take and keep a backup of a working System Restore Point onto a CD-rom or USB-unit.

    You never know when your computer goes down due to hardware failure or more likely a virus attack. A boot sector corruption can be restored and the computer works again if you in DOS, copy over intializtion files from your Windows CD to the registry but it requires some knowledge.

  • @aikoor lol

  • What's messed up is I don't have a Windows XP disc because my Acer Aspire One didn't come with one. I paid for recovery disks, but you can't go to a dos prompt and do anything. I've tried to wipe out everything and start over. I had installed joli os but there still is a grub partition apparently.

  • Hi dude that was ur operating system CD was dirty u can replace the another OS CD...

  • when i try to format n it say "press any key to boot from cd" and when i do it says "error loading operating system"

    what should i do??

  • how can i go to boot menu?

  • i have an ibm and i cant get to the command prompt. ah i knew downloading music illegal would come back to bite me someday.

  • When u go to recovery console type format if ur harddrive already has a os win xp then type exit let your CPU reboot then go to boot ur cd then wait for it to load then hit enter to install windows
