I officially dub myself, "The Trouble Magnet"!

Ok, this is the situation...

WHen i boot up, i get "Error Loading Operating System"

So, i go to boot menu to munually boot up and there i go, i can!

Anyone encountered this?

I read from MS site that it got something to do with my BIOS so i tried loading up the new BIOS over again and same thing.

Anyone to help? :confused5

That's the funny thing. I can't let it auto load.

I have to go to the boot selection from my BIOS, manually select the booting drive and i can load up to XP with no problem!!!

I'll try to look around for more answers before i do any drastic things...

Hopefully some software/windows genius in here can advise me.

Nono... it seems that there's some error going on. I have to go boot selection and select my bootup hd and it will work. If it autoruns, i'll get error loading operating system.

Autorun meaning like normal windows bootup. Where i don't have to press anything for windows to boot up.

You know, power on, wait, load into windows.

Actually it all began when my computer crash while doing 3dMark last night. Before that it was fine.

Is there any remedy? Or reinstall the only way?

I did a Win XP repair and it didn't work... I read somewhere it might be due to the hdd... nooooooooooooooooooooooo.......

KennyLeow · Nov 9th, 05, 01:00 PM

I found out that my C: drive is no longer marked as active and no matter what i try, i just can't mark it anymore.

What i'm gonna do.

Ghost it to my 2nd HDD, delete the partition and format the damn thing. Then ghost it back.

Hope it works.

Er, you could also try using the Windows XP CD to fix the MBR records... search Google on how...

You tried using msconfig to check your boot.ini yet?
