    After Grub 22, I am getting innumerable errors

    Since GRUB error after installing Debian and then have it deleted, I first had an error "Grub 22". I realized that I had to do a fixmbr and fixboot. It worked. Finally, at the first reboot. When I put the commands in the Windows Recovery Console, I do "exit" and therefore my PC reboots, and this time correctly.

    But at the next restart, the same error is returned. I have a bootable CD: Super Grub Disk. I could uninstall GRUB. Problem, the error is no longer Grub error 22, but "NTLDR is missing". Even if that grub after a fixmbr, boot the PC, but the second reboot, I again mistaken.

    So I formatted my hard drive and reinstalled windows. When installation was finished, I install the drivers, then reboot. Surprise, error!

    "DISK BOOT FAILURE INSERT DISK ..."

    Still the same, I do a fixmbr: PC boot Windows. After reboot, same error. I try to reinstall windows with another version, this time with another one-not fast, but the error persists.

    I do not suspect hardware error level HDD since I have access.

    It appears that you are having a problem on the track 0 of the disk, because the information in the MBR (partition table) are not preserved, hence the error message. You must use the Disk Utility (HDtune if you get turning to in XP / Vista) or bootable CD's or Ultimate boot CD.

    Ok, I'm going to run HDTune. Can you tell me what function should I use? I launched the "Error scan", I will leave it a while. Is it good service?

    The MBR and partition table has nothing to do, they are two different things!
    If you have a floppy drive, put a boot floppy and MS-DOS launches fdisk / mbr to remove the mbr and recreate one. This is the best way to get rid of a boot manager.

    For the "DISK BOOT FAILURE INSERT DISK ...", verify that no floppy or USB key on the PC. If boot it, it brings this kind of error. Check that your HDD is well recognized in the BIOS and configuration in the bios.

    I write on several occasions that I already do and have a more fixmbr or fdisk/mbr if I had the problem with GRUB. But the error came back after the restart. There is no CD/DVD in my player and I have no floppy drive. My two HDD are well recognized in the BIOS.
