    wiped out hard drive!
    « on: November 20, 2011, 07:44:20 PM »
    I think my Hard drive is completely wiped out! When I do DOS dir on my C drive it only has 2 items-chkdsk with 0 bytes & MEDIC which I have in my D drive! Am I wrong? I originally get a NTDLR is missing error. Can someone please help me with this-I was on a STATE OF MO website right before I got These errors. I am trying to take a course & I'm going to fail because I cant get my computer running!!!

      Your hard disk is inaccessible. the D: drive (presumably containing the disk you are booting from) is showing up as C:.

      Either the hard drive failed, or possibly one of it's connectors is loose.
