Windows 7 Reinstall Issue (DVD/USB Tool not bootable)
Hello. I am currently having an issue while trying to reinstall Windows 7 on my Pavillion laptop. I have already formatted the drive, and when the system formatted that, it also formatted all of my USB devices. This has become quite a problem for me because the reinstaller was on that USB, and as soon as it formatted, it crashed, leaving me without a way to reinstall Windows (No DVD drive). I attempted to use my old, inch thick Windows XP (gotta love it) laptop to redo the USB installer, but any time I try to do it, it cannot make it bootable. (Yes, I have tried all the online help options, and have also tried on my Windows Vista Desktop). After about 12 times of trying this in various different configurations, I have also got an error message flashing up quickly (Something about NTLDR) before the computer shuts down. This has happened once out of all my tires, the rest of the time it has said that there was no bootable media in the system. Currently, I only have my Windows XP laptop to work out of, and can do nothing on the computer. If pressed, I can probably find one of my old Linux USB booters, but I don't think that would help any. At this point, any help would be greatly appreciated.
