ScottAlpert Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 hello my pc outputing this error "missing os_" ??? i think its running from the partition of my drive wich is blank... any suggestions/. You are correct. You are attempted to boot off of an empty partition. To Fix: Put your vista cd in your drive, and go through the prompts until you are able to choose "other options". Choose Repair It will locate Vista on its partition and restore the bootloader. Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
