Hope someone can help, ive been tryin to boot into this laptop for days now.
it doesnt have a dvd drive so im using a 2gb usb pen and an 80 gb portable hard drive and having no luck.
ive tried many programs but im getting back different errors about missing mbr helper or bootmgr is missing.
ive looked up both errors and cant make head or tails about what they mean.
the laptop crashed for this person and im trying to repair it, it has an unmountable boot volume error which is easy enough to fi if u have a dvd drive or an external which im getting closer to buying.
i know its possible to boot from usb but ive tried a few and cant get it.
i managed to put files on it and get into a dos mode, it brings up the c drive but when i try commands like chkdsk it just cant find anything which might be down to the problem.
if anyone can suggest a fix that would be great .
thanks
