I have a computer that's been running solid since January but last night when I booted my system the splash screen came up and then it went to a screen that said preparing windows (I think the same screen you get when you install for the first time, though I can't be sure) then after about 5 minutes it changed to another screen saying my copy of windows wasn't valid.
The bios sees the hard drive, but when I put in my windows 7 disk to do a repair it does not detect the os at all. Is this some sort of windows 7 issue I can recover from or is it possible that the problem lies in the hard drive? Oh, and this is a standard SATA old school drive not a SSD.
I have not installed any software or made any updates in a while, I run anti-virus software and I like to think I'm pretty safe when it comes to checking anything before I install or open it.
