I have a brand new Lenovo IdeaCentre desktop that came with Windows 7 Home Premium. I added a dual monitor video card & drivers and then did a clean install of Windows 7 Professional. When I tried to get on the internet to do all the updates for Windows & Norton, it wouldn't connect and gave me the message that my Network Adapter was missing. So, that problem was solved very nicely on the Driver Forum of CH, and I got the proper driver and connected to the internet. At that time I didn't do the updates, but shut the computer down and booted it up the next morning and all I got was a black screen with the words: No Operating System I shut it down, waited a minute & started it up again, and again it said: No Operating System. I shut it down again, waited a minute, and then it started like nothing was wrong?? I proceeded to the internet and did downloads for 2 hours (Hughesnet is SLOW) and during that time the Windows downloads and installations required multiple re-starts and it was fine. It ran all day yesterday and I shut it down last night and when I went to start it this morning, I got the: Missing operating system message. I tried shutting it down and restarting several times and nothing. Even tried the old Control/Alt/Delete and that brought up: PNY G-Force GT430 PCie, Version 70.08 2.0, Copyright Nvidia, then it went to the LENOVO name and then back to: Missing operating system
I tried booting it from the original Windows 7 Pro disk and it won't even recognize that the disk is in the drive. I think I need some help,.......again.
