I use an old hp pc running xp3 at work and today it won't boot up.
One of my printers was offline so I tried turning it on and off again etc. then decided to re-boot the pc.
I'd left a camera card in one of the slots so of course it said non-system disk please remove and press any key.
So I did that - then it came up with missing ntdlr - ctrl - alt -del to restart.
So I did that and then the pc would not boot up. Everything switches on ok but no bios screen comes up, the hd doesn't spin up.
I took the drive out and put it in an enclosure and hooked that up to another pc - everything's still there so I can back up and not lose anything.
But whats the solution to get this back up and running?
Don't have any xp disks etc. there's a recovery partition on there.
