too make a long story short download updates from windows, restarted computer and never have been able to restart windows again. I ordered recovery disc, and put in a new hard drive, and the computer goes through the motions of getting ready to format the hard drive and nothings happens. Hook up the old drive and formatted the drive and recovered the info and then windows gave me a error that the bootmgr was missing. Through dos i was able to rebuild the bootmgr, but now nothing happens again. Went back to new drive, everything set up and then nothing happens on formatting the new drive. Tried to format drive with dos, but it keep saying i don't have the right drive parameters. Please Help.

Do you have your computer set to boot from CD-ROM as the initial boot source? You need to access the BIOS settings screens to see this setting and change it.
