Operating system is gone!

Hey Guys, I have never needed your assistance more than I do now. While online, my HP P6803W Wi 7 shut down. When I tried to reboot, the screen comes up but no windows or icons. I used F10 to bring up a recovery menu, but it asks me to load drivers..but of the 100+ drivers I dont know wbich is for the HDD. My operating system does not show up in recovery. I ran F8 and it says "setup is starting", 30 minutes later the same thing. Please help me guys, I just replace the hard disk a month ago. Thanks much.

 

the bios has the basic drivers already in it so do not need drivers for the hard drive. does the bios see the hard drive?

 

Yes it does, but the hard drive does not come up when you do the system recovery thing

 

I could really use your help I am at a loss

 

do you have your windows disk?

 

I know you checked to see if your drive is listed but did you also check boot order in bios to see if it's listed there as well?

 

Sorry for the untimely reply, I set this aside for a time. I was able to see the drive in Bios. I have both a recovery/repair disc and a setup disc

 

You should be able to use the repair option to get to the command line & do a scan of the drive to repair any errors or a disk check

Or use the repair to do a fix of windows or start from scratch & re-install
