    So yesterday I was greeted to my windows 10 running quite buggy with applications not running correctly asked etc so I restart my PC to see that my hard drive had been wiped and I no longer had anything on it. So my first reaction was to grab my windows 7 installation disc and reinstall a new copy of windows and up upgrade to soon windows 10 again. All the times I tried I ran into the same error saying. BOOTMGR IS MISSING PRESS CTRL ALT DELETE TO RESTART. So eventually through searching I found a fix for that but now when I Boot up windows it is stuck at the starting windows screen and when I launch it in safe mode it freezes at disk.sys. so I boot to the disc again and run startup repair. Not fixed. So I have now ran out of options so I came on here for support.

    Here are my specs

    Ram: 2 sticks of 4 gigabyte ram DDR 3

    GPU: Nvidia Geforce GT 610

    CPU:Intel VPro core 2

    HDD: 232.4 GB HDD

    I figured out why the HDD did not work correctly. My HDD was 12 years old so it reached it time and was corrupted.
