Windows 7 not bootable


Recommended Posts

I have an Asus laptop Windows 7. I was booting Linux from a flash drive for a while. Now when I turn on my computer black screen saying please insert bootable disc and try again? I tried going into bios and I went to boot order removed the flash drive all together and set the hdd to boot priority and same error message still. I think it may be possible when I was using Linux I partitioned it in error when trying to partition my sd card.

Any ideas would be great to get this fixed!!! Thanks :-)

Probably the flash drive has gone bad.

Get a new one. ;)

If you want Windows 7 restored to the hard drive, make a bootable flash drive with W7 installation copy.

Grab a Win7 disc, boot to it & do a startup repair - problem solved my young jedi apprentice

Might have to use the startup disc to get to a CLI, then do the fixmbr thing - google that for the different cmds.

 

Many times, the disc will fix it.

O got ya. That's a free download somewhere right?

You can get a Windows 7 x86 or x64 here.

 

Make sure to chose your correct version of Windows

 

Windows 7 Home Premium x86

Windows 7 Home Premium x64

Windows 7 Professional x84

Windows 7 Professional x64

 

Windows 7 x86 / x64 ISO

 

Than use the Microsoft USB/DVD Tools to copy the ISO to your USB Drive.
