bootloader corrupt?
I was resizing and moving a couple partitions around with easeus partition manager, it had to reboot because I was moving my c: drive towards the front of the disk because somehow I had 1MB unallocated in front of everything, and I also deleted an ubuntu partition from the end of my disk and resized c: to fit the whole disk.
Anyways, after the reboot it said it was running in safe mode. I left and returned a while later seeing only a black screen. I still thought it was working away, so I just went to bed. I woke up the next morning and it was still blank. So I went to work and got home about 9hrs later and it still was just a blank screen.
So, impatient as I was getting, I just shutdown the computer and rebooted. My HP splash screen comes up showing me ESC for boot options, F10 for setup and so on, then goes blank. Nothing.
I didnt have anything valuable on that drive that I was worried about, so I just grabbed my windows install disk and booted it.
I go through accepting terms and it starts the installation, then midway through one of the processes it just reboots to a blank screen. Then when I just let the computer boot, my bootloader screen has 2 window 7 options and no recovery D: partition anymore.
I have tried to install from my disk 5 times now with the same results, now I have 6 windows 7 options on my bootloader screen, and none of them work. Ive tried system restore but it rebooted to black as well. Getting desperate now, hope I couldnt somehow have hardware failure.
Is there anyway to save it or do I just need to wipe it.
How would I go about repartitioning my whole drive with out an operating system? Do I need to get a MSDOS disk. I know I can just take it to another computer and format it, which I will if I have to.
Any ideas, thanks in advance.
