System Disk Error - need expert advice

hi,

Last night my pc crashed and upon reboot got the message "system disk
missing". I then proceeded to do a windows repair and managed to get it
up and running again. Unfortunately upon reboot I got the same error.

I have sought advice from segate and the net and there seems to be
conflicting information.

If I am able to repair windows does this mean that its not a hardware
problem and most likely a logical disk error????

If so if I run the diagnostic utilities that should fix it? if not if I
zero fill the drive that might?

What I want to know is what could have possibly caused this to occur as
I maintain my OS quite well. I have disabled many services and run
multiple security products. I am using sandboxie and I have read
somewhere that it can possible damage the OS, could that be it????

Cheers

Matt

Didn't you just post this question? It's best to stay in the same thread
otherwise it's hard to see what's been suggested and tried.
