Hi everyone :)
I'm currently working on a netbook and I've had a complete nightmare with it. Basically the owner didn't leave it plugged in whilst it was running Windows Update and it switched off thus corrupting the registry.
I have reinstalled Windows 7 on it and the owner has just contacted me to say she had to force a shut down (switched it off by holding the power button down) as she was installing Avast and it was just hanging / not responding. Now it's saying 'No Operating System Found'.
This is the third time I've reinstalled Windows on the netbook and this problem keeps arising, but the HDD is detected in the BIOS.
I've advised the owner that I think the hard drive is on it's way out but just wanted a second opinion before I go ahead and order a new HDD for her.
Thanks in advance :)
Lesley
