Hi all! Happy New Years first of all!
We have a laptop with Win7 on it, it was playing a music CD when suddenly we got a BSOD and I told my gf to go reboot it so I didn't think I'd need to see the BSOD error message. But yes, after the reboot it started prompting me to select the correct drive and it wouldn't load. I went into BIOS to check if it sees the drive and it looked healthy, correct capacity, correct boot order (CD and then HDD, but I tried putting HDD first). After some tinkering I just booted Hiren's CD and went into Mini WinXP, opened Disk Management and saw this (before you look, the HDD of 500GB is split into 2 partitions of C and D drives):
So for some reason the main Windows C drive doesn't have a file system any longer and is 100% free. My question is if you guys think it's any way possible to restore that disk now? I thought I'd ask here before doing a reinstall of the OS because she had some important files on drive C. Thanks in advance!
