Windows 10: Resetting Windows 7 / 10 PC?

On the Overview page it says this,





M32BC | Tower PCs | ASUS USA


Yet on the specs tab it says this,





M32BC | Tower PCs | ASUS USA

 

Maybe the specs page has a typo, and it should read 4 x SATA 3 6Gbps, but that`s really nothing to worry about.

Until you get a ssd, I wouldn`t give it a second thought.

Let`s get that install dvd burned.

 

OK, ok... *Tongue

Running it now....

 

Yeah I was just pointing that out, carry on...

 

Oh wow! It burned it with a setup.exe and everything. Whoo hoo! *Redcarded

Well I gotta get to bed, but will run it tomorrow. Thanks AddRAM!

 

Yep should look just like this.

And when you boot from it you should see the words "Press any key to boot from dvd" *Smile

 

ACK! I just tried it. BSOD! A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. Uncorrectable hardware error.

It was apparently trying to run it within Windows, but the WRONG Windows?

Oh wait - I tried booting again and now it's asking to install Win7. Wish me luck...

 

Say what ?

Smacks self in the head again *Doh

Thought you were off to bed *Sleep

 

3Gbit/s is still easily fast enough for most SSDs unless you have a very fast ssd.

 

OK, here's where we are with the old PC: I ran the install disk. It installed Windows 7, apparently into some kind of dual boot situation with Windows 10. But it keeps booting and saying it's finishing the install, then booting again, into a black screen and just staying there. Looks like it's hosed, and this install disk isn't gonna save it.

It's sitting there right now, with a black screen and copyright Microsoft Corporation at the bottom.

I get a feeling that what I need to do, is format the hard drive with Windows 7 somehow, then try this again, because it may be really messed up from the Windows 10 hardware fiasco I went through.
