Basically, my HP Laptop isn't booting. I'm getting the NTLDR is missing error. When I fix that, I get Bootmgr missing. When I fix that, it goes back to NTLDR missing.
I have 2 partitions, C: XP, E: Win7.
I removed the Win7 Partition and now it isn't booting. I tired to reinstall Win7 on the E: partition but for some reason I can't. Even after formatting and all that.
So now, I want to wipe the entire drive and start from scratch. However, I do not have a recovery disc. And the hidden partition with the recovery software is long gone.
Is there any way I can use the OEM key on my laptop on a Non OEM XP disc?
This of course would be my last measure. I'm still trying to fix it but for some reason, nothing is working. And usually I have no problem fixing it with the bootrec /fixmbr command.
