Trying to so a 'clean install'. Now "missing operating system"
I thought I would do a 'clean install' of Win 10 on my laptop. Used Killdisk to get rid of 2 of 3 partitions on my hard drive (not the OS partition). I must have done something wrong because now my system will not reboot. All I get is a message saying: "missing operating system". I tried to reboot by: 1) using a 'boot disk' prepared on my desktop; nothing. 2) using my Win7 disk; nothing.
More detail: I put the disks in the DVD drive while the machine in on (showing the message 'missing the operating system', then turn the laptop off. Then I turn it on while pressing F12 to get the setup menu. Then I go to the DVD drive, nothing.
Can anyone tell me what to do to get the laptop to work. If I go out and buy a Win 10 disk will that reboot and install?
