Question : HP Mini 1000 - Unable to boot

Turn on my laptop and I get this message:

reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key

Verified No USB drives plugged in.

Went to bios and boot order only shows the HDD. HDD name identified. So the BIOS is recognizing the HDD.

Put windows 7 DVD in my external DVD drive to run start-up repair and it says it found a problem, tries to fix and is unable to. (go figure)  

I assume this is a problem with the MBR ?  How would I go to fix this?

Answer : HP Mini 1000 - Unable to boot

try a system restore then, when booted from the DVD
