Boot nightmare
Hi to all,
I have a problem which I can't seem to fix. I have 2 laptops, both dvd drives are not working. I have an external Usb drive that won't work under boot up. Laptops don't recognise it until drivers are loaded.
The problem,
Hp pavilion dv6500 won't boot. Mbr is damaged. Can't use repair disk as won't recognise Usb drive.
So I put hdd into my other laptops 2nd hdd port " Hp pavilion Dv9800 and repaired boot sector that way. Tested it on dv9800 and boots fine.
Put hdd back into dv6500 and get same mbr fail message.
Please can anyone help?
