Missing Operating System
A week ago I turned on my computer, it started booting up and I got the message "Missing operating system." I used level 2 of Spinrite 6, which seemed to work fine but did not solve the problem. Using my Windows 7 installation disk, I got to the command prompt X:\sources and then did the following:
c:
The volume does not contain a recognized file system.
d:
The volume does not contain a recognized file system.
diskpart
select disk 0
list part
Partition ### Type Size Offset
Partion 1 Primary 100mb 1024kb
Partion 2 Primary 223mb 101mb
select vol c
Volume 1 is selected volume
Detail part
Volume ### Ltr Label Fs Type Size Status Info
Volume 1 C Raw Partition 100mb Healthy
ditto for selecting volume d to get the following:
Volume 2 D Raw Partition 223gb Healthy
Suggestions would be appreciated. I do not have a backup of the SSD drive. While it would not be a major disaster if I had to reformat the drive and do a clean install, I'd prefer making a good effort to recover the data. I have limited computer knowledge. Thanks.
