Missing Operating System
Hi
Have just registered to see if anyone has any ideas for a solution to a problem with my that is running Windows 7 (I think 64bit). It refuses to boot and just says "missing operating system".
Using the repair option on a boot disc does not work (have tried 3 times)
If I boot using a windows 7 cd/dvd I only get given the option to install windows.
I can see both hard drives in the BIOS.
I am able to get to a DOS prompt using the boot disc, but have no idea about DOS myself.
When booting from the Windows 7 cd I was able to see the C: drive but it would not open, saying it needs formatting before use.
I think that's about it, will post anything else relevant if I think of anything.
Any ideas? Hoping my drive is not dead :/
Thanks
