Need help asap!
Hi, here's my problem; I tried installing linux ubuntu alongside w7, but somewhere near the end of my installation my laptop turned off and when turned on again it gave me no option to run linux or windows, it went straight into w7. I then, stupidly, decided to do a factory reset and just install linux and remove windows. There was then some problems when I tried installing certain programs on windows. (I'd given up on linux) and it wouldn't install them. So I decided the best option was to do a factory reset...again, but this time it wouldn't let me saying I needed the w7 installation disk. I downloaded the .iso and installed it on my usb then booted it on my laptop, I picked repair and it did it's thing, but a while later once finished, it told me it didn't install properly and I would need to do it again (at this point I was getting annoyed, as it had taken roughly 30 mins to do the previous step on top of everything else). Sometime around here I lost the installation on the usb, and gave up trying to fix it for about a week as I was too busy.
Getting to the point, my computer won't run w7, it gives an option of 2 w7 boots, both do not work saying I need to install again, I got a installation .iso as before, but now when I boot I get a black screen with a flashing _.
Can you please help, I don't want to take it to a shop, as I don't have much money.
