Hi,
Please forgive me if this has already been talked about in the forum, but my modem keeps timing out on forum searches.
I have a client that is running Windows ME, and is having problems with the error "Operating system not found" at boot up. The odd part is that when you continually power-on and power-off the computer it will go through the boot process eventually (after a random number of tries). Also, when it does get a clean boot, if you do a soft restart you will never get the "Operating system not found" error message. Kinda odd, and something that really has me messed up.
I checked the MBR for viruses, and didn't find any. However, I did find 17 viruses on the HDD elsewhere, and had them cleaned, but there weren't any viruses in any of the basic boot files that I could see.
Any ideas would be appreciated!
