Today I am going to share with you how can you prevent from OS (operating system) not found error?
Many times people get different error messages such as “operating system not found” and "Setup didn’t find any hard drives installed on your system." And due to these error messages, the booting process gets stopped and files stored in the hard disk become inaccessible.
Here you will see the causes of these types of error messages:
• System BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) doesn’t identify the hard disk.
• The hard disk partition is damaged.
• Sector 0 of the physical hard disk has an incorrect MBR.
• A damaged hard disk partition is marked as Active.
• A disk partition that comprehends the MBR is no longer active.
Here you will see the solutions of these types of error messages:
To resolve the above problem and get back the hard drive data, you need to follow following steps:
• If any floppy disk drive is inside then need to remove it.
• Need to check boot sequence in system BIOS. If the primary hard disk doesn’t show up within the first three boot devices, it means that your hard disk has been corrupted.
• Use the fixmbr command in the Windows XP Recovery Comfort to repair the Master Boot Record.
However, if all the above steps unable to resolve the issue, the best option available just clean OS and reinstall in the same partition. A clean reinstall of the operating system will erase all data from the partition. In such kind of data loss situations, you should use advanced Data Recovery Services or software such as partition recovery.
