HP laptop zv5000 will not boot.




By therman_clen on Dec 04, 2008

" "
Two distinct warnings: a fast, continuous beeping and BOOTMGR is missing. I have purchased this laptop from a co-worker who said when he went to ''clean up'' the hard drive after our deployment he may have deleted to much. I bought the proper XP recover cd/dvd from HP but it will not boot from the cd drive. When I force it to, it says that it also has a memory overflow error. Using ''r'' to open up recover doesn't work at all.
I have one sick computer on my hands.

Firstly, Thank you for your service!
A continous beep is usually a hard ware problem. Open the cover on the bottom of the laptop and reseat the memory.
Alos, did this unit come with XP or Vista. It may have SATA hard drive in it, in which case you would need the SATA drivers. Let me know.

The "Bootmgr is Missing" is basically telling you the Partition/s have either become Corrupt or Deleted.If you have more then 2 hard drives, check in the bios to see which one is set as master/slave, and also check the Boot Sequence order. Doubt whether re-seating the memory will do any good, as you would not evem get the Bootmgr is missing error if the Memory was unseated, You just need a clean install of windows put back on there.
