Winload.exe after power failure during return to factory setting
So as the title suggests, I was trying to return my computer to factory settings in the Advanced Recovery Methods.
Then the power went out, and it failed.
When I went to turn the computer on, I am presented with the winload.exe is missing or corrupt message.
So after many attempts to fix the problem myself, I have come here.
I've tried burning a copy of Windows 7 Home Premium on a disc and doing a clean install the HDD after formatting it on another computer.
I've tried repairing instead of a clean install using the above disc. That didn't work.
I'm not sure if this is in the right forum, but if anyone has any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated!
