    I've moved the contents of my C: drive to my external hard drive. No OS found.
    I was having some problems with my cpu usage so a friend told me to empty out my c: drive onto an external hdd. I did and it worked. But an hour later it shut down and when I tried to start it up it said no OS found. Is there any way to get it working again? I don't have a windows 7 CD to re-install it. Everything is on my hard drive now. What do I do? :(

    Time to reinstall your OS on C: drive.
    What make/model is it as it most likely has a hidden restore partition.
    This is normally activated during boot.

    While it can be a good idea to have data and applications on a separate drive/partition, you can't simply move them and expect it to work correctly afterwards.

    Hopefully you're learning that..
