I have this on my screen: Windows failed to load because NLS data is missing or corrupt. My hard drive works fine. Will this boot disc cd work? -Bryan

No this disc if to save what you had on the computer only if you are trying to move what you have to another computer. You need your or an original disk for your computer. kevin.saunders99@live.com for questions.

It might or might not depending on the problem, the cd did not fix my problem, however it did correct problem on a friends computer. If the problem is caused by something like a bad component it will not, no way to say for certain except try it

I used a SATA drive for the boot disk and it was running Windows Vista.It did have an IDE CD-ROM drive that worked fine.I think the BIOS allows you to set the IDE drive as the boot, but I no longer have the system with me.My family member went back to their home, out of state, so I have no way of testing.

Always worth the shot. But: What OS? External Drive or Internal? Do other Drives work ok? I've never known DW to damage a drive, but it will tell you if it can't do it.You tried rebooting? Does the errant drive show up on Disk Utility from a different drive? Checked cable connections are intact? (try a different cable) . Tried Data Rescue 2 to salvage data?

Thanks for responding Mark.I got it working after three days of constant struggle by going to theeRecovery partition and basically reinstalling Windows, which erased allmy data. For anyone reading with this problem, hold down theALT button while repeatedly pressing F10 just as it starts up while the screen is still black. From there you can choose to use the Acer eRecovery feature.I have read so many horror stories about the warrenty service,people never seeing their computers again or getting a differentone back, or being told it was dropped so the warrenty is not validthat I was really trying not to use it.

Yes.. I had to repeat the process 3or 4 times for the disc to load..The disc will reinstall windows.

Derrick, it could be a damaged hard drive. I've used this device myself, and it works fine on good drives. If the drive is defective for any reason, it won't boot up.

Nope. Tried using a linux boot CD and deep scanning, but no dice. I'm going to get an SSD so this never happens again.

That's exactly what I had. Nopes. It should work flawlessly. May be your download was corrupt. Did you proceed as was mentioned in the link?

I tried to install Linux on it right after getting my hands on, but could not boot from CD. I think it is something about encrypted or locked boot loader. I was busy so I did not bother myself looking for a solution. But soon, I'll give it another try and find out the possible solutions and I think it is not that hard to get resolved.Reg's,Rodi

Mine never worked. I heard it running but would never read the disk. I was worried my disk was bad until it worked in a different drive.

just do a fresh install its better! saves hassle and driver issue's and so on of many issue's, but those issues don't happen alot ! but non the less just get a windows 7 dvd or windows 7 bootable USB drive, Choose in bios to BOOT the windows 7 bootble usb drive install windows 7, it won't take you like 15mins.i'v used this SSD i got like 3 of them ! 1 on desktop! as boot drive for windows 7 1 on a MAC book pro for MAC OSX + Windows 71 on a normal laptop for windows 7 - linux !! and they all work perfectly fine ;)

I would say this is an internal error and that the hard drive will be fine. Before playing your next game install to your console.

The two-disc combo to reboot, did not reboot my computer. My computer at this point is still not working.

It should work fine. I didn't use the installation disk. I plugged it in and my computer did the rest.
