Title: Accidental hard drive format
Post by: Tryptamine on May 19, 2011, 10:12:00 PM

Ok, so i know a little about computers, most of my experience is with web design but i would like to learn programming. My computer recently got a virus. I formatted my c: drive & now all my computer does is come on & go to a black screen that says bootmgr is missing. Basically i would like to get some help & learn how to get it up & running again. I know this will not be an easy task but i just want to do it for personal knowledge. What would i have to do & where would i start? Be as detailed as possible, i am a beginner but i also am very interested in computer programming.

How did you go about formatting the drive? Are you sure you formatted the drive? If so, you will need to install an operating system.

Insert your OS CD, make sure the cd drive is the first device in the bios boot order, and reboot. The installation routine for the OS will begin.
