Hello naira landers, I have little problem with my desktop, It refuses to boot from the hard disk.
I have done all I could with the SETUP in DOS Environment, By setting the Boot Devices to "CD-ROM, HDD/IDE-O, AND FLOPPY" Still no improvement.What should I do?

Hi Mate, u should give more Details like what Operating system u are using and what was your last activity with your desktop before it crashed,
If you are using Xp or Vista then u should get the istallation Disk and repair your windows, if u cant get access to an installation disk then u should download the recovery disk for the Operating system that u are using, just google for it and then download it, its comes in an ISO image, U should use an ISO burning Software like Nero or Image Burner and Burn it to a Cd, After successfully burning the Image on the Cd then Set your Desktop to boot from Cd rom and Insert the Cd, it will load up the Recovery console that will allow u to repair your windows Installation especially the Boot sectors which is critical for System bootups,
Hope this Helps for u,
Cheers Mate,
