Having trouble formatting harddrive and reinstalling windows 7
i'm going to keep this as simple as possible
-bought ssd (crucial mx100 256gb)
-put ssd into my computer
-made bootable win7 usb and plugged it in
-everything is going smooth and ok
-after install of wins 7 everything is fine, i decided to re-install a program i was using before
-i install some bloatware type malware that was inside the program (my mistake i should have looked for a better source)
-trying to format ssd hardrive and re install win 7 no luck as windows keeps telling me that there is no usb in place, i had already gone into the BIOS and the made the usb the primary boot
-tried to go back to restore point but i forgot to make one before i got started fml
not sure what my options are now. having trouble formatting my hardrive, win 7 deliberately refuses to read usb at startup, tried alt+f10 didn't work, and pos acer wants to charge me $20 for thier recovery software (it's come with all that bloatware to, no me gusta).
any suggestions
