I am too much worried about my hard disk. Please read the problem carefully and give me a proper solution.
I have got an 80 GB Samsung SATA hard disk which is out
of warranty period. The problem is that had disk partition is not working and completely vanished. I did four partitions while installing Windows XP and everything was fine. I installed all the software and copied many files from another hard disk.
I did the entire task without experiencing any interruption. After shutting down the computer I tried to run it again after 1 hour. But only getting the message “Replace System Disk”. By entering XP installation CD I have found that the hard disk is showing as a whole, not any partition. I have absolutely no clue what is the problem. Please experts, give a response.

Replace System Disk Error: Partitions are all gone
Dear,
You cannot view partitions while Windows XP is installed? Or you want to see partitions in Windows XP setup? Well I try to tell you about both. If you have installed the operating system successfully and can login into it that’s fine, no need to insert CD then. You might have created the partition but haven’t formatted it with the file system that is recognizable by Windows. FAT or NTFS (recommended). Do the following:
-
right click on My Computer C
-
Click Manage and go to Disk Management. Here you will see those partitions in green color.
-
Select them one by one and format with NTFS.
-
Restart system and now you can see all partitions.
Else boot from CD, create a C drive, install windows on it and repeat above steps to create partition. No need to create in setup.
