Seem like you have lots of money to throw around. That someone knows to operate a computer doesn't mean he is handy with troubleshooting. To know if your system's hard disk is bad. Press and hold f2 when you put it on. Go to Diagnostics and run an HDD or hard disk test.

That should tell you whether it is bad or not.

As for the BOOTMGR error. It is a well documented error. A little Google search would avail you of answers.

The CD is the best way although if you have a backup you don't need to buy the CD. Here is a method. Try it and get back to me. Follow the steps meticulously.


Use Startup Repair on a computer that has a preinstalled recovery option on your computer

Important This method is available only if Startup Repair is a preinstalled recovery option on your computer.


If you do not have a Windows installation disc, and Startup Repair is a preinstalled recovery option on your computer, follow these steps to repair startup files:

1. Remove all floppy disks, CDs, and DVDs from your computer, and then restart your computer by using the computer's power button.

If your computer has a single operating system installed, press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. You have to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you have to try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then shutting down and restarting your computer.

If your computer has more than one operating system, use the arrow keys to highlight the operating system that you want to repair, and then press and hold F8.

2. On the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to highlight Repair your computer, and then press Enter. (If Repair your computer isn't listed as an option, then your computer doesn't include preinstalled recovery options, or your network administrator has turned them off.)

3. Select a keyboard layout, and then click Next.


4. Select a user name, type the password, and then click OK.

5. On the System Recovery Options menu, click
Startup Repair. Startup Repair might prompt you to make choices as it tries to fix the problem and, if it is necessary, it might restart your computer as it makes repairs.

how much do you change the inverter of a dell laptop screen

Following the data loss experienced by this site last month I have decided to reopen this thread to accept request from our esteemed forumites.

Please note that the rules still stay the same.

Sequel to requests by many peeps here for expert technicians / system engineers who can help fix their
systems. I have created this thread with the aim of helping out and bridging the gap between service providers(me and sometimes others tested engineers) and clients(you) for
professional and trustworthy services.

However, there are some little
rules that guide service provision which are to be
adhered strictly to, to have an
itch free ride.

The rules goes thus;
1. This is open to Lagos residents only. However exceptions are there for those who are out of Lagos and may be willing to send in their systems for repairs.


2. The aim of this isn't to charge excessive fees but giving you excellent and
honest services at the cheapest or near free
rates.

3. Other info as regards this would be added as the thread progresses.


You can post the challenges you are having with your systems and would get
the help needed. Thank you.

Get another CD and start afresh from Windows 8 then upgrade to 8.1.

Also, maybe you aren't installing the drivers right. I understand there are still some graphics bugs with win 8 but you may be downloading the wrong drivers.

But wait. How did you delete the hard drive and windows while still on the windows. How is that possible? Shooting at a gun with the same gun?

what operating system have you installed?

Tried windows 7 and it is still the same.


Want to be sure it is software. If you have tried other operating systems like windows 7 . Then you have a VGA problem.

Since it is hardware and connected to a VGA
Then go for a new board. Heating the VGA like they do in Nigeria is mostly not long term.
