    Can't install Win7 after formatting a Linux based server


    Dear,

    Linux was installed on a server; Client required Windows 7;
    I uses USB key (always works) to install Win7.
    Formatted it but on reboot PC hung on the word 'Grub".

    Please advise.

    Thank you

    You'll need to wipe the HD of all Linux code: SSD - HDD Optimize for Windows Reinstallation

    Adapt these steps to get a perfect install: Reinstalling Windows 7
