Win 7 fails to boot (and install) on Asus Zenbook UX31
Hi,
My zenbook restarted and Win gave me to new options:
- Launch Startup Repair (recommended)
- Start Windows Normaly
If i choose the second one it gets stuck on loading screen and after a while BIOS UI goes on
If i choose repair option, eventually i ll get to the System Recovery Options screen, after i choose language i ll get to the screen with two options :
- Use recovery tools that can help fix problems starting Windows. Select an operating system to repair.
- Restore your computer using a system image that you created earlier
with chance to load drivers. I tried to load drivers but with no luck as i only have option to search Boot(X:) 33 Mb hard drive.
Next window is the one with repair tools. There i tried with Startup Repair which also fails with a diagnosis and repair details:
.
. some successful test
.
Root cause found:
A hard disk could not be found. If a hard disk is installed, it is not responding
Which is kinda strange , because i have created boot usb and at the start up i get to choose if i want to boot from usb or SanDisk's ssd 128gb.
I have also created Ubuntu flash and got Ubuntu from usb up and running. During that time i tested my ssd with Ubuntu test tool and got one error found.
I tried creating second Win 7 boot usb by following directions from Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7
and with it i tried to reinstall Win 7 but after i choose language and setup starting part gets finished
i get
and when browse for drivers again i only get Boot(X:) drive shown.
Any help i can get is much appreciated! Thanks!
