| 771387 | 2009-05-06 03:20:00 | It came loaded with Vista Business and i am trying to put XP on with the DVD's provided. Booted off the System disc formatter CD and formatted the drive which then said it would reboot once I put in the DVD ready to install the operating system. Did that ok and then it boots up with an error Bootmgr is missing, press Ctrl alt del to restart and it wont boot off the Recovery DVD's. Any ideas anyone, i would apreciate a little advice thanks |
