SOURCE: PXE-E61,PXE-MOF,OPERATION SYS MISSING

I have three kids with the same Acer Aspire 3680-2681. All in over a year have had this. The first sat til we gave up and just tore apart. Put back together, it worked, better. Nothing done. The second, a couple months later, we just took out the hard drive, made sure it was in the correct and full way in, and it worked. This week, the third, same problem, same solution, Took out the hard drive, put it back in snuggly and it worked. It has two screws that SEEM to hold it in place but it does slip out. BEFORE you do all these other ms-dos things and other crazy time consuming file losing pictures forever gone things, try this, and bring a can of compressed air, get the dog hair and dust out while you are there.
It seems to be a small engineering thing with the screw placement and holding of the thing securely in my humble opinion.

It sounds like it is trying to boot from a network. Enter the bios by hitting the delete key during boot. First see if your hard drive is recognized. If not yours is bad. If it IS listed check the boot sequence and make sure your hard drive is first, or CD first HDD second. Save and try again. Hope this helps.

How to fix a missing operating system on acer aspire laptop?

I hate to break it to you, but you probably need to buy a new OS. They can be bought in a supermarkets electronic software aisle for (cringe) around $120. You can also order a disk from Microsoft for about the same price. Buy Windows - Microsoft

How to fix a missing operating system on acer aspire 4920 series laptop

This might be caused by hard-drive failure. You should run hard drive test from BIOS to make sure hard drive is ok. You can access BIOS by pressing F2 during start up, from there start hard disk self test and wait for it to complete.

Missing operating system

Maybe it fell or made a hard impact with something else, this may cause a partial contact of the harddisk interface with it's connector also it may be that your RAM is shaken. Try to fit these properly. If the problem persist it may imply that the operating system is corrupt. You may have to resort to removing your harddisk, connecting it as an external drive to another system, back up your data, replace your hard drive into your system and format it.

Windows failed to load because the kernel is missing or corrupt. On my Acer Aspire One Netbook doesn't have a disc drive. What do I need to do?

You can actually connect an external device on to your computer like an External DVD drive via a usb cable to fix the problem. Or you can also make a USB Drive bootable with an Operating System such as Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7 so that you can just insert it in your Notebook and reinstall your Operating System.

On switching on acer aspire one have immediately After first screen screen stating Windows could not start because following file Is missing \windows\system32\config\ system You can attempt to...

Pressing F2 on startup enters the Setup Utility and a password to that has been set up on your netbook. In any case, you can try pressing Alt and F10 at startup to get into Acer eRecovery Management which can then restore the operating system to its original factory condition. Be aware that doing the restore clears the hard disk partition containing the operating system and all user data will be erased.

Repair the notebook operating system, Some of the file on system might be missing. Try to send the error code which was written on the blue screen. I think this will make the question simple.
