A disk read error has occurred, - after deleting partition
Hi,
I'm new to the forums and have decided to post so I can hopefully resolve the mess I have got my girlfriends laptop into....
1. The laptop already had windows 7 on it but I wanted a clean install so I created a W7 disk from an ISO on a usb stick.
2. It wouldn't however install onto the original partition as it froze during installation so I created another partition and installed W7 on there.
3.I then set the new partition as active and ran startup repair multiple times to allow the correct boot files to be installed onto the new partition
4.I then used command prompt to delete the old boot partition that had the old W7 on it, but then the laptop gave me the "A disk read error occurred" spiel
5.I have tried every command to rebuild my bcd in command prompt from the W7 disk but it still says no installations are found after the /rebuildbcd command
Specs:
W7 64 bit
Toshiba Sattelite C660
4GB Ram
Thanks for reading and replying in advanced, any help would be greatly appreciated.
