Otherwise I thought I could just run a few commands and get this one even though I've spent a whole weekend working on this. I really wanted to use this version of the XP OS but I forgot I was going to try using a different ISO. There was a rootkit in one of the scans and I could not remove it. It was severely damaged and I threw everything I had at it. No there is nothing left from the Windows OS. Its true I am using an ISO from a torrent buuut shouldnt I be able to just add the BootMGR? If I use the Windows OS Its as simple as downloading MBRWizard and following a few very simple easy steps. If not and a clean install must be made, then visit the drive manufacturer's site and get software to setup the disc again for loading windows onto it. Is none of the previous Windows left on the hard drive? Why not just do a 'dirty install' of Windows on top of itself? Is this something downloaded direct from Microsoft? Or an ISO created from an XP install disc? When trying to install the Windows XP ISO Basically I have come to conclusion my answer is to use another windows system to install Its very common, yet from Linux not so simple. Tons of people have ran across this issue. I rebooted and recieve error message BootMGR Missing Press Ctl + Alt + Delete to reboot, and this results in an endless loop of reboots.

And since I am not running any Windows OS's on any of my own computers, I either have to leave my place to borrow a friends computer, or usually the answer is on which is down (?) Why didnt I just make it while I still had the XP?Would have made my job so so much easier. The issue that came to me when trying to install the Windows XP ISO using Linux via USB. (At the time I thought I would have an easier time running ubuntu to do the reinstall.)

The viruses on this mother were so bad that I had to do a reinstall and for some reason, I'm trying to figure out why I did it now, I installed Ubuntu 12.04 on it, knowing I was going to have to install XP back onto it. Code: Select all My friend asked me to take a look at his laptop.
