Hi!
Alright, so I screwed up big time. I had Windows XP pre-installed (C when I bought the computer nearly 3-4 years ago.Then I dually installed Windows 7 to a logical partition (D, and then experimentally installed Windows 8 Pro WMC (G to the last partition, which is currently the default. I needed some space, so I decided to remove Windows XP, and like an idiot, formatted the C: partition with GParted. Now I get the "Reboot and select proper boot device... or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key" error. I used Windows 7 Repair disk, tried attempting repairs with Windows 8 Pro installation disk, tried changing partition flags (I don't even know what they are), tried a warez disk, but nothing works. Even the Win8 installation disk doesn't show any operating system installed. Also, my HDD is set as first boot priority in BIOS.
Any help is appreciated!
I attached a screenshot of my partitions from GParted.
Thanks in advance!
P.S. Although it is named Windows Developer Preview, the partition has Wndows 8 Pro WMC in it.
