Cannot boot to windows DVD after crash
I have a dell xps laptop that crashed and when I restarted it went into a never ending startup repair loop.
I tried using the recovery function to no luck and now I have created a bootable windows dvd.
The problem is when I try to boot from it, either the bios or hitting F12 to select dvd it just goes into the same repair loop - sometimes its the graphical ui and other times it's the black and white text telling me to repair or restore.
I searched this forum and it seems that most answers want you to use a usb. Unfortunately, I do not have one large enough to put the win7 iso on it.
Can anyone else give other suggestions?
