Missing Operating System after bad HDD driver install
Hi everybody...I have a Dell Inspiron15r model N5010 that I was trying to upgrade to windows 8 Pro when I went and downloaded many of the drivers from Dell so that I had all the latest and greatest. in my quest for quickness, I accidentally installed a driver for a HD that was listed when I meant to install the newest drivers for the accelerated HD graphics card. as soon as I did, the computer restarted and the infamous "missing operating system" message appeared. I checked the BIOS to see if the HD was still listed, and it is. I took the laptop all the way down to bones and removed CMOS to see if this would reset all drivers to loaded defaults, and this didn't work either. Please help.
