Infinite startup loop
Evening everyone, I just put a PC together and besides forgetting the power supply all went well... physically. A little background, this computer used to run Vista 32x but I wanted to upgrade and read that my mobo could support a Phenom II x4 965 if I flashed it which I did and that went well until I reformatted to install Windows 7. I decided to post here because after reading quite a few threads this forum seemed very helpful and friendly. My problem is I'm getting the infinite startup loop but when I follow the instructions here:
Startup Repair Infinite Loop Recovery
Around step 8 it says to type C: and press enter but when I do it says in the command prompt 'Drive not Ready.' Also it is normal to have 'X:\windows\system32>' stuck there not able to be backspaced? I'm thinking no... Anyway I'm kind of in a rush here because as some of you may know the Beta for Guild Wars 2 is going on and I've already missed a day of it trying to fix my PC so if I've done anything in a way that opposes the posting rules of this forum I apologize. Thanks in advance for reading this whether to help or for the title or both.
