Sometimes when you start your computer, you may receive a text that resemble above error message. The main reason for occurrence of this error message is hard drive damage or improper partition formatting. If your computer cannot read the partition, then all the data stored in it cannot be found; it includes operating system as well. As a consequence; when you turn on your computer, BIOS tries to find operating system on your hard drive to boot. If it fails to recognize operating system, it shows an error message indicating that there is no operating system. However, you can easily get rid of the error message by reinstalling operating system. But what about the data stored in it? Is it gone forever??? No it is not!!! You can get it back by using efficient hard drive data recovery software.
What Are Other Possible Causes For An Operating System Not Found Error Message?
