I was defragmenting my computer when the whole thing freezes. Im short to temper with computers, so naturally, i hit the power button. When i start it back up, it goes to the gateway page (where it says "press F2 to enter the bios menu) just after that section, it goes to a black section and says " Operating system could not be found.
im usually good with computers ( i got the thing working, after the tech support team for circuit city when they didnt do anything.)
this happened a while ago, but the time is needed for a new computer in the house (my wife wants the newer computer, so im SOLed there

)
i want to see if i can get it working before i have to buy a whole new laptop.
help is appreciated and thanks
