Hi there.
I have Windows XP running on:
Intel core 2 dou E-7300 2.66 GHZ 3M
GIGABYTE GA-G31MS2L.
I startup my PC, and get to this black screen with all sort of stuff written and something like "boot from cd/dvd" comes up, and after a lil' while some error message regarding no cd that is bootable or something in the drive[sense there no windows or linux or whatever cd in the drive].
I checked the BIOS setup in it was fine[suppose to boot from harddrive 1st], and I set it to try only from the harddrive and not even try from cd/dvd as a 2nd or 3rd option.
didn't help.
I tried putting into the drive the windows xp installtion cd, in it seems to recognize the windows that is already installed and I trie the repair/recovery console: I did "FIXBOOT" and tried to set it right through "BOOTCFG", it all seems legit. like it should work just fine.
but nothing seems to work and whatever I do the computer tries to boot from cd without even trying to boot the windows from the HD.
and it happen, like, all of the sudden. I didn't juggle with the settings of the BIOS or WINDOWS before it started to happen, and I don't even have internet connection so it's very unlikely for a virus to show up and mess the pc.
anyone has an idea of what can be done to fix this problem?
thx in advnace
