Missing operating system message, cannot re-install windows 7
Hi All,
Shut down PC last night, all working perfectly. Today it won't boot with the "missing operating system" message. Have booted from Windows 7 installation disc, tried startup recovery - took 2 hours before reporting no automatic fix possible. It cannot find an installed Windows OS to do a system restore, so I attempted a "custom" clean re-install. However, I then get a "canot create system partition or find existing one" error message. I have tried to create a "New" one but nothing doing. I don't seem to have any HDD drivers to point to either.
I have two 500GB Western Digital WD5000 drives but that's all I know.
Can anyone help? Do I need fo reformat the C: drive?
Many thanks.
