Yes, just restart your computer and press F11, F12, or any other "F" buttons. It should tell you when your computer starts up.
The original OS' disk.
You set the bios to CD boot. After that reinstall windows with a windows xp cd.
you need a bootable OS nstallation CD.
An OS CD is a disc that contains the Operating System and from which you can install a fresh copy of the OS onto your computer. A modern OS is likely to come on a DVD rather than a CD.
An installation cd/dvd is essential in order to repair the start-up disk. The Mac needs a booting platform & this cd/dvd provides exactly the same. One cannot repair the boot partition while initiating the system from it. Thankfully, there are couple of disk repair software such as Stellar Volume Repair and Disk Warrior that provides bootable disk if your installation cd is missing. You can boot from the DVD created by the software and then perform repairment with the help of these partition repair tools.
Harry Potter may be able to help...
Yes, you can if you have a copy of the CD saved somewhere on your hard drive.
Yes, there may tools, but they require special skills. The best way to repair any application it's to reinstall it. If it's about operating system, then just use OS installation CD which as rule has all required utilities to repair the OS.
Download an ISO of the Mac OS CD, and then burn that ISO with Nero to the CD. It will be an exact copy of that disc. If the ISO was copied from a bootable CD then the copy you burn will be bootable.
Perhaps the CD is only operable on a Windows OS? That, or the CD has severe superficial damage.
Yes. It fills the scratches in the disc without ruining the rest of it.
Insert the Windows OS CD original and then reboot your machine ... after you will see a message "press any key to boot from CD" .. do that. Then if U have Windows 2000 Pro CD or XP Pro CD or XP CD whatever, it will install all the necessary OS files and related drivers into Memory and then will try to dedect the INSTALLED/ CURRENT version of Windows OS on your system / on C: drive. Then you can decide whether to REPAIR or INSTALL the Windows OS again. So choose REPAIR option and then it will ask u for the Administrator's Password if SET for C: ... just enter password if you have set up earlier other wise just hit [enter] Windows OS will get the necessary missing or currupted file(s) from CD drive and then will tell you to reboot again. Then remove Windows CD from drive and then reboot ... Now If things are normal then your machine will BOOT UP normally and will run. If U have problems even after repairing your windows ... please observe the problem what happens after what and write down and come back and ask the problem again ... We will try to work something out again ..... till then GOOD LUCK :))
