I wake up one bright, sunny–OK scratch that… I mean rainy–morning; a fine Sunday and the first day in November. My usual activities I skip, as there is no school on a Sunday of course. I reach to the floor and pull up my laptop, open it up and turn it on. I await the boot screen but alas I see an error: "Missing Operating System…". I'm in disbelieve so I run around searching for my savior, the Ultimate Boot CD. I plop it in to the drive and do a warm boot, then I navigate into tools which allow me to read the raw data from the primary partition. To my surprise the Windows system folder had been deleted. There's only one option that remains and that is to copy the Windows folder back. Well unfortunately trial and error fails me again, as does Microsoft. How? When the Windows folder is no longer located on the partition any Windows utility reports the partition as inaccessible. I've tried. The Live CD couldn't access Local Disk C, as it read it as an "Invalid Windows Partition". Great. Just. Fucking. Great. Well, strike what I said before, there is only one other option left–install a new copy of Windows 7, completely erasing the old partition and formatting a new one.
So, needless to say I've lost everything. Again. How in the world the Windows folder found a way to completely delete itself is a puzzle. Why Microsoft doesn't allow the restoration of this directory is another one. Way to go Microsoft, you seem to suck yet another hairy horse nut.By the way, I did believe I had lost The Ultimate Test but I found a backup. Thank God.
I have no idea what to say to this. :P

So Microsoft is responsible for disk failure, now?
UBCD doesn't give a shit what's on your partition, and even if it did, how the fuck would that be MS' fault? If you hate the them enough to blame them for hardware failure and other people's software, use another OS.when i saw the title for this i figured it was about waking up in the hospital from a car crash or something, so… at least it's not that?
I'm with PY on this one.
Yeah.
Well.Must suck >_>that sucks but it's your laptop's fault and maybe yours.
You should always have a backup in case something like this happens.
