Issues with Windows booting, Windows repair and trying to reinstall
Hey,
So I had a problem today in which Windows decided that it wouldn't boot, Instead it would just reboot constantly
This happened after I heard a ticking noise from my computer, things started to freeze, and so i had to restart. When I tried to turn it back on I had the above problem.
NOW, I tried to use Windows Repair option that is there by default. It loads up the blue windows background, gives me a pointer but then doesnt do anything.
I have a W7 repair disc, I booted to it. That too done the exact same thing, it lets me choose the language/keyboard style to use and then sits on the blue windows background and gives me no options.
Finally, I have a full W7 installation disc that I booted to. I tried the repair option and got the same problem as before.
I also clicked the "Install Now" button and it has been stuck on "setup is starting" for over 10 minutes now, with no hope of it doing anything.
So currently I cannot repair or install Windows. I assumed it was a harddrive failure, but why wont my disc based solutiions even work?
Any help would be great, thanks
