About Thomas
Expertise
I am helping people online since 4 years now, currently on this site. I like To help people as far my knowledge goes...i can help with some Hardware Problems, Some parts of Multimedia and some internet related topics. But please dont ask me about Server Operating System and Microsoft Office Products.

Experience
NT Administration, working in an IT department for over 5 years now, was working as Hotline Supporter for Compuserve Germany, worked for Dell and HP in technical support in Germany from 97 to 99

Education/Credentials
Microsoft Trainings sometimes.. more learning by doing

Awards and Honors
I answered more than 3700 questions in my 2 years on askme.com,
currently working in an IT Department...I dont answer any Questions about Server Operating Systems and Microsoft Office Products....As the freqent questions about Password related topics are rising up, i dont answer any Questions about "How do i logon my system when i forgot my password". Answering this would be against the laws in my country, and excuse me, i dont know you and nobody can prove me that you really want to log on to your pc and not anyone else. Thx in advance.

Question
I have a desktop computer that just got unplugged by my 2 year old, was working perfectly fine before hand, and now says when I try to turn, on a blank black screen, Operating System not found. Is this problem fixable? Or did my whole computer just crash?  I tried to restart, and have already done ctrl alt del   several times, still not working? Any sugestions?

Answer
unplugging a running machine can cause a destroying of the so called Boot Sector..the error Operating System not found points in that direction..take the machine to a computer shop and let them do a Repair Installation..tell them to install Windows over itself, so you wont loose your personal data on the disk...

regards

Thomas
