Os gone?

[Cantaloupeman]

So i came home to my computer today and when i turned it on it said somethig along the lines of system 32 was not found os could not be loaded. I am wondering if it has to do with this message i got on ebay earlier. 

What do i do? This is a huge issue. If it helps at all i just recently reinstalled windows and downloaded bitdefender free and malwarebytes free. Thanks in advance!

Some error message on EBay is irrelevant to your OS disappearing. I'd try plugging your HDD into another computer to see if your files are still there and it's just an issue with the boot sector if you have a second computer. If not did you notice any odd noises coming from the hard drive recently? Any clicking or scratching? If so then your hard drive is probably toast.

Are you able to boot into safe mode? Also is the hard drive showing up in BIOS?

The BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) is what essentially tells your computer to run and how to do it. It sets everything from what clock speed your CPU runs at to what devices are hooked up to it via USB, SATA, etc.

 

You normally access it by pressing the F2 or Delete key repeatedly while you power it on, depends on your motherboard manufacturer.

 

Since you haven't done so I would suggest listing the specs of your machine and tell us what OS you're using before we go further.
