Hello! My name is Julio, I'm from Bogotá and I am very sorry that my first message in this community has to be with a problem... I really hope somebody here can help me with this issue.
Well, the problem is this: Saturday, I was working perfectly, no problems with a new hard disk which I bought one month ago (Maxtor 500GB) in order to get more storage because the old Hard Disk was only 160GB, so I turned off the computer and Sunday morning when I started it, I receive a message that NTLDR was not found...
Obviously the NTLDR shows that there is no operating system on the master HD... so I went to the BIOS Configuration and I found that the system was not detecting the new hard disk (500GB) but the old one which has not OS and of course that's the reason of the "NTLDR" message.
So, my question is if there is any possible reason to explain why the system did not detect the primary hard disk and if there is any possible way to recover all the files in it? Or is this new hard disk dead? (hope not)
That's all... thanks for your time and reading, hope somebody can help me.
Julio
