We have been tearing out hairs out attempting to boot an MS-DOS
start-up floppy disk
to essentially BOOT an OS CD on a Compaq laptop with no avail...
When the laptop starts, it gives THIS message:
"NTDLR is missing"
OK, we went to the Microsoft website and it says to get the
"bcupdate.exe utility"...
We got a download of this app, burned it to CD on a working laptop....
..put that CD in the broken laptop to boot (would it?)
..and the problem is we can't BOOT the CD-ROM drive to even get to
that!
I wish there was somewhere on the web where they simply SCREENSHOT a
display
on how to EXACTLY enter codes after the A:\ prompt FROM the start-up
disk!!
I mean, after the A:\ prompt...we enter 'help"...and NOTHING!!
Any help is greatly appreciated.
