Please help computer people my computer won’t boot not even into dos or live cd?

Posted on July 12, 2010 by admin| 2 Comments

I was on slax live cd and I started partitioning the drive but accidentally erased the only partition on the computer (windows had stopped booting and I wanted to install slax onto my hd). Now nothing will boot not even the ultimate boot cd it says: disk error BB, Ax + 4280 drive 82. Can I do anything to boot into dos and finish using fdisk to partition for linux? Not even my live cds will boot anymore.
Yes, it is set to boot from cd and it’s too old to boot from USB drive. Because there is no working partition it won’t boot anything. How do I restore mbr? (dell latitude C600).

    Check that you are set to boot from CD first in your BIOS and not your Hard drive. Also if your MB allows it, try booting from a USB Thumb drive.

    Can you get into the BIOS? If so make sure everything is in order there. Hmm, is there any info there for hdd or cd/dvd drive?? Not sure tho, maybe you’ll need a new hdd. Hope this helps at least a little!
