Boot Error :(
Windows 7 has been working great for me for the past couple of weeks.
This morning however, something tragic has happened.
Last Night I shut down my computer like I always do, nothing seemed to be wrong. But when I started it up this morning I got a very pecuiliar error.
DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER - or something to that effect.
I found my Windows 7 disk, inserted it, and began the repair process. However, there was still something wrong. Windows 7 could not find my main Drive at all. The drive where I installed Windows 7 where all my data is and where I stupidly did not make a backup.
I tried doing a system restore, but it could not find my hard drive.
I tried doing a system repair with the installation disk, but it could not find my hard drive.
I tried to do a complete reinstallation, hoping it would find the disk formattable, but it wasn't even listed...
I've opened up my computer to make sure everything is still connected (though I don't see what could have posisbly knocked out a wire, I mean - I don't live in an earthquake zone and I'm pretty sure I killed all those trolls in my basement...) and I'm about to try booting it again.
As odd as this is, I'm making this post from my ps3 so I'll be keeping this open as I attempt to solve this problem.
If anyone has had a similar problem or just would like to leave me some advice, since obviously I'm not as computer savvy as I would like to think I am, please do :3
