XP will not boot from HDD
My XP Professional was working perfectly until I ran Norton Ghost to do a
backup. Now it will not boot from the HDD the POST runs up to just before DMA and then it stops showing "no operating system. Inserting a emergency boot floppy and restarting gets it going, but this is not really satisfactory. System restore does not help as with the emergency floppy this does not like things! Please help me out.

XP will not boot from HDD
Boot from the XP CD, and do a repair install.
Or, boot from the CD, and go into Recovery Console, and use commands to fix MBR You are using a bootable floppy with Ntdetect, Ntloader and boot.ini on it that works to boot to your OS. -- Mick Murphy - Qld - Australia "epsilon21" wrote: My XP Professional was working perfectly until I ran Norton Ghost to do a backup.
