On My eMachines desktop, when I turn it on, the emachines logo comes up and
then a message comes up saying Operating System Not Found. No other keys work
nor I can start it in safe mode.

I know for sure, I have not installed any new hardware on the machine, but
two days ago, i used a virus checker software which "cleaned" about 12
registry entries. I know what everyone would say... OOOPSS!!
 
Roger That.. I just read the question and the instructions. Its a long night
ahead I guess....

Thanks a bunch.
 
Did you try disconnecting and re-connecting the hard drive cables?
Does your BIOS see a hard drive?

In the BIOS Setup utility screen, where do i see my harddrive listed. It has
Main, Advanced, Security, Power, Boot, Exit Menus.

I could not find Standard CMOS Setup.
 
I suppose it may not be in all bios'...but some have the IDE devices listed.
And I suppose where depends on who's bios you're using.

Is there a diskette in the floppy drive?

The message means that the boot device was found, but the boot files were
unable to be located. The boot sector was found.
Could be a non-bootable floppy set to boot.
Could be a damaged primary, active partition boot record.
Solution is obvious when using the Repar Console on the XP install CD if the
latter.
