OS error
My friends PC has just begun this error -
it displays 'error loading operating system' on the startup screen one before the windows logo. He's got XP (Pro i think) and has been told by some people it is something to do with his HDD being full beyond the limit of his BIOS \ Mobo limits. Is there anything he can try - he has ALOT of work on there so something none memory destructive please. Is there a way of taking the info from his HDD using my machine without a format? Cheers for any help |

I dont know if this will work but you could try taking his HDD out, placing it in yours as a secondary hard drive. Make some space, then move it back to his?
Or just try to reinstall or repair windows on his computer. |

No. Just make sure the jumper is changed to make it the slave. thejumper settings are shown on the hard drive or on the manufacturers web site.
