HP Boot disk failure after using WipeDrive SystemSaver

  • 24

Used WhiteCanyon software WipeDrive System Saver 6 on a 5-6 yrs old HP Compaq desktop. Now it will only give “Boot disk failure, insert system disk and press enter” on a black screen. Computer will not boot up to windows at all. I Do not have recovery disk or windows disk to re-load either. Cannot get passed error. Sometimes it will say going to sleep and turn off on its own. Tried turning off and back on while pressing F10, got Setup Utllities to come up and it reads: 1st hard drive {NONE} 2nd hard drive {NONE}, then there is a 3rd and 4th hard drive that has letters and numbers like it is ok. Does this mean the hard drive is gone or now corrupt? Of is something just not reading right to pick up hard drive? Please help ASAP, thank you!

  1. What did you think wiping the drive was going to do? Below is a link to the product you used.

    Only you know what options you used. Evidently you have wiped the OS partition. The computer isn’t going to boot without an operating system.
