Can anyone help please? I have done a stupid thing and do not know how to fix it.
I was trying to install an android system on my desktop so I could use it as well as my windows.
I was following some instruction on a website. i downloaded an android iso, then Unetbootin and then Gparted.
After booting up from my usb running Gparted I was supposed to crete a new partition for the android system on my hard disc. Unfortunately it would not create a new one as it said I could not have more than 4 partitions? I did have an empty redundant partition on the hard drive so I thought I would delete it so I could create the new one.
When I then shut down and rebooted my pc would not boot up. I just get an error message?
I thought never mind I can repair it with a repair disc but even a new install will not work. It seems that the hard drive can not be found. message says media driver is missing? I am sure all the files are still there as the partition I deleted was empty and the system patition was not touched but somehow I have managed to disable the hard drive.
I have tried both the original win 7 disc and a win 10 iso on a usb. Both start to install untill they need a harddrive to load onto.
I have an Elitedesk 800 G1 running an i7 chip.
Any fixes I can try before it goes to the repair man?
Update. I think what has happened is that I have corrupted the EUFI file which appantly has replaced the old bios .
I will try some fixes on the web and let you know.
