NTLDR compressed on a Compaq Presario SR105CL cant enter bios to set to boot
Step 1:Which operating system ? Computer is booting from a non-bootable source. Computer hard disk drive is not properly setup in BIOS. Corrupt NTLDR and NTDETECT.COM file. Misconfiguration with the boot.ini file. Attempting to upgrade from a Windows 95, 98, or ME computer that is using FAT.32 New hard disk drive being added. Corrupt boot sector / master boot record. Seriously corrupted version of Windows 2000 or Windows XP. Loose or Faulty IDE/EIDE hard disk drive cable. Failing to enable USB keyboard support in the BIOS. Many times this error is caused when the computer is attempting to boot from a non-bootable floppy disk or CD ROM First verify that no Floppy Diskette or CD is in the computer, unless you are attempting to boot from a diskette. b> Note: This error has also been known to occur when a memory stick is in a card reader and the computer is attempting to boot from it. If you have any card reader or flash reader make sure that no memory stick is inside the computer. Additionally disconnect all USB drives, cameras, ipods, iphones, etc. from the computer. If you are attempting to BOOT from a floppy diskette and are receiving this error message it is likely that the diskette does not have all the necessary files or is corrupt. If you are attempting to install Windows XP or Windows 2000 and are receiving this error message as the computer is booting verify that your computer BIOS has the proper boot settings. For example, if you are attempting to run the install from the CD-ROM make sure the CD-ROM is the first boot device, and not the hard disk drive. Second, when the computer is booting you should receive the below prompt. Press any key to boot from the CD

Remove A: drive compaq presario sr1055cl
Remove the side panels on your desktop computer. The floppy drive will be attached to the drive bay with 4 screws (2 on each side of the floppy drive) or by a plastic slide clips. After removing the screws, remove the power cable and the data cable from the back of the floppy drive and then you can slide the floppy drive either to the back or the front of the drive bay to remove the floppy drive from the desktop case.
Screen is saying, Disk Boot
Sounds like hard drive is going bad or just lost boot sectors, you need to put in your windows disk and follow prompts, or go to another computer and search for program called spin rite

I have a COMPAQ, Presario SR1055CL Desktop, that will not bootup
Hi....If the computer will not start and you hear no fans or other electrical sounds chances are the power supply has failed. If you had an electrical storm that caused the blackout and did not have a surge protector power strip it could be much worse. Check the power supply first. You can google for help in testing that supply. Good Luck Hank
