BOOTMGR is Missing - Linux Boot Possible
Hi all
Sorry guys I was given some duff info yesterday! I now have the PC (Packard Bell) available and on start up the actual error messages a Verifying DMI Pool Data ................ BOOTMGR is missing Press Ctrl-Alt-Del to restart Has a Win XP logo on front. So the question is pretty much the same: Should I be able to access the data from Ubuntu CD boot? Also, I have used the terminal "force" commands to gain access to a laptop drive previously. But I know very little about Linux software and possible corruption of data. Can using these force commands to enable disk access actually cause data corruption? The PC I'm looking at has valuable family pics on apparently and I certainly don't want to risk rendering the disk unrecoverable. Thanks Phil |
