No Boot Device, No operating system after Comodo Time Machine install
Hello,
I have a ASUS G72 notebook with one 500 gb harddisk in it.
On c drive, there was Windows 7 Home 64 bit,
On d drive, there was Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit.
i installed comodo time machine on c first, and then on d(as told by the program), and then computer restarted (as suggested on program installation),
now it says "reboot and select proper device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key after the restart.
i put the windows system repair disc, it didn't see any windows installations,
with no operating system seen i went to repair options, and tried start up repair, it starts, goes to attempting repairs and stucks there for a long time. (when i stop it before going to attempt repairs, it says that the problem is "partition table is corrupt on disk \device\harddisk0" )
i changed ahci to ide, no change.
i went to command prompt and tried
- bootsect /nt60 all (/force) /mbr
result is
\??\physicaldrive0 successfully updated disk bootcode.
it didn't change anything, it still asked for boot device.
bootrec /fixmbr says "the operation completed succesfully"
bootrec /fixboot says " element not found."
bootrec /scanos says "total identified windows installations 0"
bootrec /rebuildbcd says the same
bootcfg says "error : cannot open boot.ini file"
bcdedit says "the boot configuration data store could not be opened. the requested system device cannot be found."
diskpart list disk sees disk 0 online size 465 gb free 465 gb (remember i already have 2 opearing systems installed)
list partition says "there are no partitions on this disk to show."
i am going to x: from x:\windows\system32 (when yuo put the system repair disc and command prompt) and choosing setup and install windows 7 it says a device driver is missing.
i am putting the windows 7 ultimate dvd and restarting from it and it says:
disk 0 unallocated space 465.8 gb
i want to access the files in the harddrive because there are over 60gb very important data in that folder (C:\necessary) but of course, right now, there is no c:.
i also tried to see about the bios update , just tosee if it is going to see the files, it said "there are no existing drives"
i want to find a way to reach the files at least, if I cannot fix the boot or mbr.
