HP Pavilion a1012x Recovery Problem - Windows XP
backtolife:
Sorry for the picture quality. The word says Error! The message come up after the typical BIOS boot information. There is no sign of Windows before the message.
Shane, I believe I've gone though the fixmbr process previously without success. I most certainly can try it again and report the results.
Boggin, I appreciate your continued interest and your help and thank you for your condolences about my friend. This man was my supervisor at one time and I am pleased that that relationship turned into a sincere and wonderful friendship. Though I received a number of hard drives (in addition to the installed drive) I would be hard pressed to make enough sense of them to determine if I could manage to restore the computer from them.
I'll report again after I run fixmbr.

OK, I'm presented with the following getting to the recovery console:
1. E:\MiniNT
2. C:\Windows
Which Windows installation...
Which one should I choose?
Shane:
2. C:\Windows is the windows folder.
Not sure what the minint one is, never seen that.

Shane, I believe MiniNT is the recovery partition...
Shane:
Ah, still have it do the repair for the c:\windows only
