I am using Windows XP Pro w SP3 on single hard disk. Yesterday I shutdown the windows properly.
But Today, after turning the system on, the error message "Error loading operating system" displayed on the screen.
When I go to repair the windows using Windows CD it does not detect my old OS.
So I prefer fresh installation of windows. During installation setup shows C drive as unformatted drive. Other drives are listed as correct including Volume name.
Come to the point,
I don't delete the C drive or touch the hard disk partitions in earlier. I don't know how C drive comes become a unformatted drive.
These same problem also occurred in my friend system in past.
On both systems windows re-installed with data loss.
Can anyone know the reason of this problem? Share your idea with me.
