Reset BIOS Now missing Operating system

by goalie2 . Updated 17 years, 7 months ago

Folks, I have a Dell XPS DC00 running Windows Vista Buisness. The dvd-rw was not working so after doing all the dell tests and uninstalling the device it still would not recognise I decided to reset the NVRAM in the BIOS by using ALT-F & ALT-E.

Now on bootup it tells me that the operating system is missing. I am running vista install dvd but it does not see the hard drive there as i tried using the system restore function from the cd.

How can I get the Bios to pickup the old OS? Please don’t tell me that I have wiped the harddrive?

Cheers
Derek.
