windows 7 boot error following botched windows 8 installation
Ok, so after I downloaded the wndows 8 finish consumer preview and loaded the iso onto the drive, I went to boot it off of the flash drive. I ran into the common problem of the installer telling me I had a missing restartDVD driver. so, I go to restart my computer, and I got the following error:
An error occurred while attempting to read the boot configuration data.
I have no idea where to head from here. I don't have a windows install disc for windows 7 (laptop did not bring one, manufacturer opted to make a partition, which I never got around to copying).
Do I have any cards to play here? I saved some files from the flash drive while in windows 7, just before this happened and I really cannot afford to lose them.
