After the power strip was turned off by my 5 year old granddaughter my computer won't boot. It tries to repair itself but fails. I have tried tapping F12 to get to the boot menu but everything I have tried has failed. I don't have a recovery disk. Lesson learned there. I had the computer diagnose the startup and it found no problems.
I have tried to reset it but I get a message that says, "A required drive partition is missing."
If I try to refresh it says, "The drive where Windows is installed is locked. Unlock the drive and try again."
It has a Seagate hard drive #ST500DM002.
Can anybody tell me how to unlock the drive or anything else that would help? My computer skills are very limited.
Thanks, Danny
