Ok I was recently trying to do a BIOS update on my ASUS m2n32 Sli-deluxe motherboard and it said to set your BIOS settings to default before the update, so I restarted the computer and did that and then saved changes (I am running Vista 32 bit). Well, the computer then went to reload and after the BIOS screen I am getting the message "missing operating system". So, I restarted the machine and went into the BIOS to see if anything had changed and it is still detecting my hard drives and the boot order is still CD, HD, other and the message still comes up. So i booted it with my recovery CD (i only have this from ASUS, not a full Vista disk) and i ran the startup repair even though it could not recognize an operating system and it came back with the response it could not fix the problem and these codes:
Problem event name: Startup Repair V2
Problem Signature 01: External Media
Problem Signature 02: 6.0.6000.16386.0.0.0.0
Problem Signature 03: 5
Problem Signature 04: 65537
Problem Signature 05: unknown
Problem Signature 06: corrupt partition table
Problem Signature 07: 0
Problem Signature 08: 1
Problem Signature 09: FixPartitionTable
Problem Signature 10: 1168
OS Version: 6.0.6000.2.0.
It looks to me like the partition is corrupt but I am not sure, and I am not computer literate enough to know what to do next. Any advice would be much appreciated, thank you in advance for the help.
