    Post Blue Screen-- Primary Partition became "unformatted" & unbootable


    How it happened: I started up my notebook on 'F8' > 'Device Driver Enforcement Protection' = off , and my comp booted into win7 (x64 professional), and it blue screened, and would then boot to a screen with a blinking '_ '. I hooked up my hard drive to a desktop pc and its showed that the disk had the majority of the drive (the space my win7 partition used) marked as 'unformatted' (other than NTFS).

    In Short: So, all my files are marked in an NTFS partitioned that became an unformatted partition. How do I re-partition the area of the disk as NTFS without wiping my data within those boundaries.

    Thanks

    Check the hard drive with the manufacturer's diagnostic tools.
