I recently had trouble where my computer froze at the 'verifying DMI Pool data.....' I was told this was due to the Master boot record missing or corrupt. I have now formatted the hard drive and trying to get windows installed. If I just turn the computer on I get the message 'NTLDR is missing' I get the same message when I try to boot from the CD. I have tried an original Vista and XP CD with no luck. I have managed to get into DOS using a usb stick but ti will not find a hard drive or cd drive when I'm in dos. It only has the C: drive which is the usb drive.
I have tried several programs, checks cables and connectors. Checked BIOS which has dvd drive and hard drive installed.
Both hard drive and dvd drive work in another computer as well as the cables. I have flashed the BIOS as per manufacturers instructions and that all seems fine.
Can anyone suggest anything that may help
