  Hello

  You try to install Windows XP on the computer?

  BootMGR is not part of Windows XP. This is the file of boot loader for Windows Vista and Windows 7.

  Method 1:

  If you try to install Windows XP, you can go ahead and try to reinstall Windows XP from the CD and check if that helps.

  OT: Solid State Drive startup problems.

  Hello

  I recently bought a Samsung 120 GB 840 Evo Series SSD to start my operating system and general programs faster than my current hard drive. I want to keep my hard drive 2 TB of storage mass (videos, music etc...) but I want to migrate my OS on my SSD. I copied my Program Files x 86 for my SSD and I went into the BIOS and set my boot option #1 and #1 Boot priority to my SSD, however, after I save and exit the BIOS, I'm greeted by the message "Boot MGR missing - Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to reset" and now I don't know what to do.

  Any advice would be great!

  I hope someone could help me with that.

  We have recently upgraded to Windows 7 Enterprise and have some problems with some of our laptops.

  It takes about 5-10 minutes, sometimes before the login screen appears when pressing ctrl + alt Delete, when it does not appear and user in the password input, it takes too long before that one is, connect to Windows.

  I have updated all drivers and ensured that the laptop is connected to a cable network instead of wireless. Problem still not solved.

  Thank you.

• Equium A100-549 - reading disc error occurred press ctrl + alt + delete to restart

  Hello

  I have a laptop Toshiba Equium a100-549, about 3 years, Windows XP Home Edition.
  Everything worked very well so far. When starting my computer, I received the message:

  A disk read error occurred press ctrl + alt + delete
  I don't want to lose my data

  Please please I need some advice what to do

  Kind regards
  AGM

  > I don't want to lose my data

  Well. Everyone knows that a HARD disk problem can happen and all of a sudden you may lose all the data stored on the HARD drive.
  That is why it s always recommended to backup the data on additional HDD, DVD, etc.

  I'm not sure if this will help but try this:
  Try to boot from the disk Win XP (NOT the Toshiba Recovery disk) and press r. means repair and should start the repair console.
  The similar DOS window should open and there, you can use a command:
  CHKDSK drive/p/r

  The chkdsk command checks the specified drive and repairs or recovers the drive if the drive requires it.

  More details can be found here:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314058

  If that does not help, then you need to reinstall new OS.

  ===========================================

  Think about it an absolute must - manually update your drivers.

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

  Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using the methods
  above is preferred so that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are
  found)
  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
  Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
  older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
  get new manually if you wish.

  Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

  If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

  -

  You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type CMD in the search box, right-click on CMD. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

  -

  Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

  When you get your system in good working condition, I invite you to back up your system up to an external hard drive and make it regular periodic updates.

  Hello

  To me, it seems that the HARD drive has developed a fault.
  Error message: error reading disk. Please press ctrl + alt + del to restart is a typical notification if something would be wrong with a HARD drive

  You can try to check the HARD disk using a disk HARD Drive Fitness Test.
  It s free tool google for it if you need details

  Run the test and check if the HARD drive is OK.
  No, then you will need a new HARD drive and you need to reinstall the operating system.
