For a variety of reasons I have wiped the hard drive. I want to install windows 7 ultimate, and when I boot from the bootable usb, the screen end up black with a blinking cursor on the top left.
try following the steps in the link below:
Windows 7 Installation Failure - Overcome
If that does not help any post back and we can go from there.
i tried those steps several times and itdidnt work.I am using a dell m6600.
Re downlod the Ultimate iso and use wintobootic to burn the iso to the usb stick
Official Windows 7 SP1 ISO from Digital River « My Digital Life
WiNToBootic bootable usb drive windows vista/7/8 - Bootable USB | Bootable USB
Let it finish.
Use the 1 time boot menu key to boot from the usb stick only once.
Anymore problems, post back.
A properly prepaired W7 usb stick will look like this.
