hey everyone need some help, i had windows 7 installed on my pc and i had a really bad virus, so i did a low level format and reinstalled windows. now as i try to load it after it says windows is starting the screen goes black and nothing happens but it starts in safe mode fine any ideas thanks
As there was a virus attack, yo ushould have performed a clean installation formatting the entire C drive, as described in STEP 7 of the tutorial Clean Install Windows 7 .
At first, try Troubleshooting Windows 7 Failure to Boot , and if failed still, try ... Clean Install Windows 7 .
well after i did the low level format and put the the windows disc i did do a clean install ? is it possible the windows copy is no good
Rather than a low-level format try deleting your partition (s) during the clean install procedure, and then create a new partition to install Windows on.
What are you using as your installation media? OEM disc? Retail disc? Downloaded ISO?
i did that to umm i downloaded it, its the retail, i can try again
hey thanks for your quick replies i deleted the partition and installed a fresh copy and is working. thanks
Pleased to hear it.
Thanks for the update.
