    Damaged Hard Drive/Partition


    Big problem here, I turned off my computer and when I turned it back on, Windows wouldnt start. I put in my recovery CD and it said
    "Operating system: Unknown on (Unknown) Local Disk"

    Then i went into the command prompt and put "diskpart", then "list disk", and it shows up like this:

    DISKPART> list disk

    DISK ### Status Size Free Dyn Gpt
    --------- -------- ------ ----- --- ---
    Disk 0 .. No Media 0 B 0 B
    (sorry if it looks weird, this forum wont let me edit what I put above the way I want it to)

    Will I have to get a new hard drive? Should I put "select disk 0" and then "clean"? Did I get infected by a virus?
