No OS found?
Posted: Dec 4th, 2012, 10:57 am
hey freinds i havent met yet...
One day I came home to my computer laptop saying "no operating system found" I bought my laptop from dell 3.5 years ago...no warenty left, and no OS comes with the laptop. it comes pre-installed.
i called in and they state it will cost me $ for them to send me a OS, or they can send a service call over and it will again cost me $..
Being so close to christmas i dont really have the xtra & to take it in to get it checked out (in the new year perhaps)
Soooo my questions are:
CAN any one give me ideas on how to try and at least recover alllllll my pictures at least?
It was windows xp home edition
I have tried to reboot in safe mode, by going into bios by pressing f12, and same ole' reply no OS found...
i have googled things over and over again trying to come to a solution, however, i am not a expert and get cofused.
please NO comments like...you shoulda saved your pic. or backed up...i know, i know, i truly have already cursed myself out, so need to carry it further.
i just wanted to get the pic out to make a calender for my dad that i do every year....could really care less about anything else on it
thanks for any good sincer help
