Startup loop after reinstalling Windows 7
I am not sure where to put this question but here goes:
So I managed to go through the process of restore, receiving the message that it was 100% complete. This was done using 2 disks given at the store.
The current problem is that I am stuck in a loop comprised of the following messages and associated operations:
1. I am asked for a password (and the one that I supplied at the BIOS page works)
2. 'Setup is preparing the computer for the first time'
3. I get the blue screen and the 'Welcome' message
4. 'Factory Installation is in progress' and I am not to interrupt it
5. 'Configuring the system'
6. 'Logging off'
7. Computer shuts down
8. Computer restarts
9. 1 repeats, etc.
I might note that when I was given the choice towards the end of the use of the two recovery disks I choose to install not just on one partition but on two. I DID remove the recovery disk from the DVD player..
Any advice or guidance is appreciated. Thanks in advanc.e
