It is royally screwed up now - going to the Pros Posted by MI-Roger [Email] (#882) [Profile/Gallery] (more from MI-Roger) on Sat, 18 Jan 2014 05:48:54 In Reply to: Re: OT: NTLDR missing, vvack0matic [Profile/Gallery] , Fri, 17 Jan 2014 19:34:44 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Reloaded XP, restored 12.2 GB of program and data files from back-up.
PC now starts (when nproblem started the machine would not boot), no internet explorer(!?), no program files, no data files, just a shell of XP. I spent 90+ minutes watching the backup being loaded so the data must be inside there somewhere.
I may as well have the operating system upgraded to Win7 Pro (or what ever will allow 32 bit programs to run without a shell). I already have a HUP disc for Office 7 ($13 well spent) so I will upgrade that too.
