    If all of my computers have malware, how do I get fresh Windows install


    My laptop has been infected by malware several times. There is another PC a desktop in the house, but it might have malware too. I could reinstall windows, but I don't have a CD. Normally I would download the Windows Media Creation tool onto a USB stick and then boot my computer off that USB stick and follow the directions. There are some problems with that plan though.1. If I download Windows Media Creation Tool from an infected computer, can I be sure that it will install an uninfected version of Windows?2. I've been told that not only Windows can be tampered with, but so can the

    If you having an issue installing a driver that worked before you formatted or wont install on a fresh build, sometimes this means hardware damage

    If all of my computers have malware, how do I get fresh Windows install

    Fresh windows install help.

    Hi.
    I have Samsung Series 7 NP7005ZA-S0AUS laptop pc. I decided to do a fresh windows install so I used a flash drive to re-install windows (I formatted the hard drive at the begnining of the installation). When the laptop booted first time in the installation process, I got a screen saying boot menu but it's empty. I clicked alt+ctl+de, the laptop restarts and gets me back to the same screen. I entered the bios and made sure the hd is on the top of the list and save/restarted but same issue. I tried loading bios default settings and that did not help either. I noticed in the boot menu that there are exclamation marks next to the HD and the SATA DVD drives, not sure what that means but they were not there before. I honestly think a bios update can do the trick but there is no way to upgrade the bios of a samsung laptop without Windows like my case so I am stuck.
    Any help will be very much appreciated.
    Notice: The hard drive has 8GB msata built in.
