Computer formatting problem!
My computer's OS i.e. Windows 7 stopped working, I had tried everything like system repair/recovery nothing worked. Now I have downloaded the windows 7 Setup and trying to format. I have got and iso. file and burnt it into a cd. when I boot through that CD, the windows Boot manager opens and its says choose an operating system to start or press Tab to select a tool. The problem with my computer is that it keeps restarting. but now it doesn't even start the setup from the cd. Can you tell me what I have done wrong. I have a laptop too and I have tried booting the CD in it, same thing. The setup does not start, What should I do. You can ask me anything else you want. The problem can when the computer did not start i.e. that problem was in the hardware then, when it got repaired, the windows got corrupted. I want to know how I can start the formatting setup through my CD now and another thing is while booting there is no line press any key to boot from cd/dvd. there is just a blinking '_' and when I press something the windows boot manager opens. there is the OS windows 7 there which if operated restarts and I want to format my computer. it doesn't work in safe mode either.
If your answer work I will surely give you the best answer, and I used image burner software to put the .iso file to my DVD. Please help. :'(
So should I burn the .iso file or should I open the .iso file and then burn it?
