SylentSlayer Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 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 :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hum Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T3X4S Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Grab a Win7 disc, boot to it & do a startup repair - problem solved my young jedi apprenticeMight 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
