Presario CQ62.

When I push the power button, the big "Q" compaq logo pops up, then black screen, white letters saying "BootMGR is missing, press ctrl+alt+delete to restart", and that is as far as I can ever go.:badpc:


I don't know what shes done to it.


any ideas?? how do I fix that? presumably put a windows disc in the optical drive and try to repair windows??


Thanks heaps guys..

1178144 2011-02-14 07:27:00 If its XP this mostly works, insert XP CD, boot from it, select the "R" option to repair your system, you will load up the recovery Console

Type in FIXMBR <press Enter> then type in FIXBOOt <press Enter> Then type in EXIT <press enter> If its Vista or W7 load up the Windows DVD, tell it to repair the computer, its on the same windows as install ( bottom left from memory) - dont hit install, it will reinstall windows if you carried on.
