I started a previous thread called "no operating system upon boot" that is
still unresolved. I believe the meat of the story is that during work in
the drive management utility for XP Home, I reformatted the drive D
partition and potentially may have marked it as the primary or boot drive or
somehow confused the system as to which drive to boot to. The C drive
should still be intact with an operating system and files but the d drive is
totally blank and upon a reboot, the system simply displays a "no operating
system availabel" message on my laptop screen. I need to know what the next
step is to try and inform the system upon boot to check the c drive for the
operating system. Any help is appreciated. Thanks,
Z
