Error Loading Operating System Started by ballmoss , Jan 04 2014 08:18 PM Please log in to reply 6 replies to this topic #1 ballmoss ballmoss Members 3 posts OFFLINE Local time:07:17 PM Posted 04 January 2014 - 08:18 PM Hello, I have a Dell Latitude E6500 with no current OS. It was given to me ready for OS installation, in working order by an IS guy. The only problem was I didn't know how to install the OS. I thought I would just follow the prompts. So, I tried to install a Dell Reinstallation CD Windows XP Home Edition including Service Pack 1 CD. However, I reached a point where it asked me a question in the process and I wasn't sure what to do so I aborted the process by removingthe CD. OOPS. A few days laterI decided to try and install WindowsOS again, thinking when I got to that same question I would call a friend for advice. However, now when I put the CD in, I get the message Error loading operating system. When I turned off the computer and turned it back on with the CD in the CD slot, it said Press any key to boot from CD.....Error loading operating system. But that's it. No matter what key I press or how much I plead with it, it's not budging from this screen. Any suggestions? The computer was supposed to go on a plane to Central America with me Tuesday for a friend there and I really want to get it working so I can take it. Appreciate any help.

Normal boot sequence Normally computer boots as shown below (Windows 7 boot sequence is shown as example): BIOS loads 1st sector from HDD (Master Boot Record), verifies 55 AA signature and transfers control to Master Boot Record. Master Boot Record scans partition table for active partition, http://www.prime-expert.com/articles/b13/fix-error-loading-operating-system.php then it loads 1st sector from active partition, verifies 55 AA signature, and transfers control to Boot Sector. Boot Sector loads 15 additional sectors from the beginning of disk (Volume Boot Record) and transfers control to first additional sector of VBR. Volume Boot Record loads BOOTMGR file from root directory of boot partition into the memory and transfers control to it. BOOTMGR loads Boot\BCD registry hive and displays boot menu. BOOTMGR is able to run memory test and set safe mode boot flag per explicit user request. But normally, it loads winload.exe when computer boots normally (cold startup) or winresume.exe (when computer resumes from hibernation). Winload.exe opens SYSTEM registry hive, gets list of drivers, loads NTOSKRNL.exe, loads drivers (*.SYS files) and transfers control to NTOSKRNL.exe. Winresume.exe loads memory dump from hiberfil.sys and transfers control to it. 3.
