Invalid Partition Table!
Hi everyone,
I'm in some desperate need of help.
So, yesterday my battery fell out of my Dell Latitude computer and now when it boots up, the screen goes black and the 'invalid partition table' error appears.
This never happened when I had windows 7 and I now have windows 8.
How do I fix it??? I've read around but nothing seems to work :(

Sounds like you have installed in MBR and the BIOS setup has changed to SecureBoot/UEFI or vice versa:

Its also possible the hard drive has failed check the diagnostics:
