Formatted C: from Windows 7 setup, now it won't even install
- by ocurro
Help, I'm so confused. I did more or less what's been described here:
I formatted Vista and installed
Windows 7 over it. Problem is that I'm
now unable to boot (...) [1]
I'm installing Seven on top of Vista
on ACER AS1410 Notebook
When it
comes to the part where I choose
where to install, I pick the
partition labeled C: but instead of
keeping windows.old files (what would
I want them for?)
I choose to go and carelessly
format the partition (my bad). It
shows me this error: Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition. See the Setup log files for more information
Now the only option is "Load Driver".
i have tried installing every single one from
ACER website, none of them are
useful. I even flashed orig. BIOS.
I've tried going back and choose "Repair" like in the picture:[2]
but I only get an error: "Failed to save startup options" I think this is weird, what else
can I do?
