No restart since clean install,what am I doing wrong?
I had to use kill disk to get rid of a virus.Wiped the whole drive.I used the simple one pass,where it makes all 0s.Should I have selected the US_DOS method?I can restart from safe just fine.
During install,when it goes through the final process"windows is finishing installation".Screen shutsoff when it attempts to restart.But thats all that happens.After 20mins I decided to hold the power button to shutoff and startup.Ridiculous.
Maybe this will help to.My bios is simple,It shows a "DOS" and "other" option somewhere.I didn't change it because I don't know what it would do.Also when I change the boot options to cd/dvd 1st,it will not boot automatically still.It will say please press any key to boot from cd for about 3-5secs.
I have ran the repair windows,but it finds nothing wrong.I thought maybe the disc was scratched in a bad spot,but it still looks new.My friend let me test it on his compaq CQ56.It installed and restarted just fine.
I have ran chkdsk and ran diagnostics on my HD,it is fine...no problems at all.
If I hold esc on boot it says:
System BIOS shadowed
Video BIOS shadowed.What does that mean?I seen no options in my bios about that.
