>From the link in your first post: "this is to do with the laptop not being able to find the bootable part of the hard disk or the hard disk at all..hence if the hitting and removing din work for u then fix ur hdd..use a windows installation disk and get to the part where it says repair windows..select command prompt from the options and then repair ur master boot record..full instructions here.. http://www.ehow.com/how_4836283_repair-mbr-windows.html... even tho im on windows 7 the mbr method worked for me..."
