Power Outage During Win 7 Upgrade
Hi everyone, I was installing the Win 7 Home Premium 32 Bit upgrade today when the power went out during the expanding files stage of the installation. Turning the computer on now, it recognised the install was not complete, but threw up an error message saying the rollback could not be completed. I tried rebooting and it now comes up with command prompt in front of the Win 7 installation background (not sure if the background is the standard Win 7 desktop, or still the background for the install program).
I searched these forums and it mentioned starting in safe mode etc, but my current problem, which happens on occasion (pre trying the upgrade) is that I can't use the keyboard after the BIOS screen is gone. This means I can't choose to boot from CD, since it needs me to push any key to get going, and I can't choose between the Win 7 and Win 7 Rollback options when booting the OS. I've tried using a PS/2 connection on the keyboard, but I get nothing.
I would appreciate someone either explaining to me how I can run a repair through command prompt, or knows of a fix for getting my keyboard to work. I'm a complete novice at CMD, so any explanation would have to be pretty thorough.
Appreciate you guys taking the time to help me out.
Eric.
