    Hard drive crashed and operating system not found.


    My hard drive crashed and I replaced it with a new one. I've tried to reboot my computer but says no operating system is found. I don't have a thumb drive or cd backup to install a new fresh copy of my operating system windows 10. I can't find the old 8.1 version that it upgraded from in my system anywhere. Do I really have to buy a new copy of windows 10 home or is there a better solution?

    :)

    need list of usb bootable Operating Systems

    I am looking for a good list of operating systems you can run from a usb or dvd.

    If not a list, then folks can just post their top picks.

    I want these to run from the usb/dvd without installing on the system or getting in the way of the system that exists on the hard drive.

    Thanks in advance.

    operating system on external hard drive

    Hi Bhaskarramagiri,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    In order to understand the issue better can you share


    • Which Operating System was previously installed?

    • Can you share how did you try to format the C drive?

    • Are you completely not able to boot the system?

    Yes, you can access your internal drives by booting from the external hard disk, by changing the boot order of the "bootable" devices on your computer.

    Do let us know if you have any other queries pertaining to Windows in the future. We will be happy to help.

    Thank you.
