WIndows 7 issues
Hello Everyone, I am a novice at computers hence pardon my ignorance on the most obvious.
I recently bought a gateway laptop with Windows 7 home premium. Everything was working fine, till I decided to partition my drive. I started the process and returned after a couple of hours to find the laptop totally "dead". I tried to reboot it and it keeps asking me to insert a recovery CD. Nowadays, the recovery CDs are not sold along with the laptops.
Hence, I downloaded the .iso file for Windows 7 54 bit from microsoft's website and burnt it on the CD and tried to boot the machine from there. But, no success. On some further investigation, I got this message:
pxe-e61: media test failure, operating system not found windows 7.
How bad is this? and what is the fix, if any?
Thanks a ton, in advance.
