hi all..
i am betty and i am good at computing but not the "technical" side of it. I have a very bad problem
My brother installed a ""back up dvd of factory default of his new laptop(Acer with Windows Vista Home premium ) to our desktop pc (which had windows xp ) and cancelled the installation when it was 5% of progress. He wasn't sure whether it wud work!!! ( sure he had gone nuts! )
After, he tried opening windows on the desktop normally but unable to do so, he tried installing a fresh version of Windows XP and it formatted and when it reboots...it says Error loading Operating System !!! i tried deleting the partition and making a new one and installed on it but still this error comes up!!
I had tried typing fixmbr on dos. but nothing!!!!!!!!! please do advise me on what can be done!!
Also i would kindly advice me the procedures on a simple way..for info i dont hv a floppy disk with me now, usb drive yes ( is that can help! )
Please help...I need to install my Windows XP to my desktop pc !!!
