In one my PC's, when I boot up all it says is:

Reboot and select proper Boot device
or Instert Boot Media in selected Boot device

In setup it cannot detect my hard disk and all my connections are connected, what to do?!

Okay most likely a problem with the bios. Did you turn off your computer from the wall or without shutting it down properly? that could have caused this problem

okay try holding ctlr+alt+del and see if it will start your computer normally now.


You may need to install a new bios, this one could work for you, but you may need to search around for the `right` one for your computer. P13 BIOS from the Gateway Web site. The filename is 7511677.exe. http://support.gateway.com/support/d...4&uid=52436392

If the above fails then you may want to try using a boot disk, I have provided you with everything you will need.

They contain a generic boot.ini that defaults to the first partition of the first drive and the "Windows" folder. But there are options for any of 3 partitions on the first 2 hard drives and "Winnt" folders if that is where your system is installed.

Download XP Sysboot media here:
Bootable Sysboot Floppy - http://users.adelphia.net/~abraxas/dl/XPsysboot.exe
Bootable Sysboot CD Image - http://users.adelphia.net/~abraxas/dl/XPsysboot.exe

If you do not have a burner that will burn ISO images, or if you don't know how, then use this standalone ISO burner to create a bootable CD from the image above. http://users.adelphia.net\~abraxas\dl\isoburn.zip



If all that dont work, then there are a few more things you may be able to do, however I will need details of your computer parts (all)

a lost resolution may be a format.
