You can't send messages, you don't have enough posts. Tell us exactly what has happened to your machine.

Yes I got your message.
Lets start from the beginning.Can you go into the BIOS?
If yes,does the BIOS detect the hard disk drive?

Please answer on that so I will know what to do next.



Cheers!
Oh and...I hate laptop TOSHIBA hard disk drives...don't ask me why

my laptop is dell inspiron 1440
CPU: Core 2 dou
Ram:2gb
HDD: 300Gb
CD/DVD drive

its original OS was windows vista so I change it to Windows 7 ultimate its a downloaded OS from torrent. so its cracked...

so before it was broken. it normally hangs allot so what I did was I dont normally shutdown my computer until when I turned on the computer the computer says "Bootmgr is missing Ctrl+Alt+Delete to restart"...
the CD/Drive works fine...
There is no OS on my HDD because I already formatted it...when I try to install the OS windows 7 it suddenly hangs...so stop installing it...

when I try to install the OS again this message appear"Windows could not format a partition on disk 0. the error occurred while preparing the partition selected for installation. Error code: 0x80070057" how will I fix my laptop?

We can't help you if you have a nongenuine operating system from a torrent, its against our rules.

You aren't giving us anything to go on. Are you trying to install an operating system or did it just pop up saying bootmgr missing?
