-HUGE PROBLEM- Virus uninstalled harddrive

[CommandoBob]

In my previous topic i told you about that there were no partitions showing in Computer Management.

So i decided to check out my device manager, and i didn't saw my HARDDRIVE!

What i gotta do now?

I don't have system restore points.

Is the drive recognized in your BIOS?

 

[CommandoBob]

Yes.

I forgot to tell, i can't re-install Windows. Since the installation detects no hard-drive paritations.

 

[Jonathan_King]

What brand hard drive do you have? See if the manufacturer provides any diagnostic software.

Boot into safe mode/command prompt and format your hard drive, this will remove any trace of a possible virus, then reinstall....

SAMSUNG HD753LJ (S13UJDWQ809144) 750GB

I opened diagnostic tools but it showed a command prompt for less then a second and closed.

Try right-clicking and running as administrator.

Same problem, i appreciate your help.

Can you see the disk in GParted, or another third-party partition manager?

go to cmd prompt and locate the diagnostic tool and then run it. It might be running and closing before you can see it. opening it in cmd will prevent it from closing the window

Edit: Make sure to run cmd as admin as well. good luck hope this helps

Well actually its an .exe file. But a command prompt shows up.

Well actually its an .exe file. But a command prompt shows up.

When you run the .exe, if no windows open, just the cmd, then it closes: then running the file from within a cmd window would allow you to look at it. It might be erroring out and closing the window, but it wont close the window if you opened the cmd first. I am pretty sure of this as this happens to me with programs at work. I have to run them from the cmd for the window to not close. Also, If it is reporting an error, you can post pic of it here.

No error at all.
