  1. Question re: fresh windows install


    So I'm not sure what happened to my Surface Book 2, but after performing a hard shutdown in the middle of a video driver failure I got stuck in an automatic repair loop. Can't boot to windows, can't reinstall/repair, and apparently even the registry is corrupted beyond accessibility. It can't even identify the current windows installation (says there are zero).

    So I'm looking for a fresh start, so to speak. I created a bootable usb but it's not letting me install windows to any existing partitions and the option to create a new one is greyed out.

    Do I delete the existing positions? How sure can I be that it will let me create new ones after the existing ones are deleted? Assuming it all works out, how many positions should I create assuming I just want C: and the OS?

    I've read through a dozen guides online but most of them operate on assumptions that aren't applicable to my situation. Any help would be very much appreciated!

    Question re: 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.
