Hard drive is fudged please help!!!
#1
Ok, so I was installing a Windows OS to my computer. It was taking a really long time so I canceled it. As it as canceling I accidentley unplugged my computer (laptop). I tried to turn it on, and all I got was, "no bootable partition found."

I had 2 Partitions on a 150 gig HDD. 1 partition (CSmile was 140 gig. The other partition (FSmile was 10 gig. Since I couldn't boot I used a win7 dic I knew would work and I installed on on Drive (FSmile. When I used C: before I could see F: and all it's contents so I thought it would work the other way around. Now my computer only shows F:, but it appears as C: which means I still can't find all my stuff, and it won't even show up.

Do you know any way I can fix this?!! I need to get files of my original C:!!!

It's probably completely ruined, due to you installing a new OS then smashing out the power, HDD's tend to corrupt themselves.

Format it and then it may work again?

There is a great chance you'll never see your files again. Make sure you don't do anything until someone helps with experience in the situation. I personally don't have enough experience to help you because a wrong move can destroy your whole computer. Good luck!

noop unpluging was a stupid mistake...
Man's destructive hand spares nothing that lives; he kills to
feed himself, he kills to clothe himself, he kills to adorn
himself, he kills to attack, he kills to defend himself, he kills
to instruct himself, he kills to amuse himself, he kills for
the sake of killing. ~Josef de Maistre

Ouch.. you should try booting with a Linux Live CD and try to recover data from there.
A power unplug can cause hard drive corruption =/

Well that really really sucks!

If I were you I would just tap F11 on startup and restore, then install Win7.
