Are you sure its not the disc thats at fault here?

yes i have tried a other cdrom. do you think that it will work if i take that hard drive an put it into my pc and install windows that way or wil windows sync with my hardware that's in my pc (if i can will it work in the other pc when i put the HD back into the pc)

thanks for your support

You can put the hard disk into another PC but it will BSOD. you'll need to run a windows repair in the new PC and do the same again when you put it back into the original PC.

BSOD is caused by driver errors.

thanks so i kan instaal windows on a other pc but then i need to repair it on the other pc with the same disk or do i need a repair disk to repair windows on that pc?

why im asking is i have tried to repair my own windows once and then it asked me to input the disk labeled repair windows or something in that direction.

speaking of whitch i heard that some one said that it might be the hard drive also thats not working? can that be the problem also??

With a Windows disc you can repair windows.

When you boot to CD, go to the recovery console and type this command

chkdsk C: /f /r 

press enter and let it run.

restart the PC and boot to the windows disc and follow the onscreen instructions to repair.

thanks i wil do so and let you know if i came right.

one thing will it give me an option for typing something in or must just follow the on screen steps for recovery.

kieferschild · Answer

the first step is press R for recovery console.
do this the first time to run the check disk.

the next time you need to skip the first bit (as if you are going to do a fresh install) and then rather then reinstalling, you'll have the option to repair.
