https://community.hpe.com/t5/netservers/system-file-corrupted-or-missing/m-p/2922681#M4445 Have you already reinstalled the OS by now?<BR />Some basic TS steps here:<BR /><BR />1. Boot from a DOS boot disk. Can you get to the C: drive? Is the C: drive FAT or NTFS?<BR /><BR />2. If you cannot get to the C: drive from a DOS prompt, run FDISK and view (only view) the existing partitions. What does it report as your primary partition?
