Me: Acer Aspire 1200, 4GB ram, 320GB Hdd
Sum up: My computer crashed during an update. It will NOT load windows 7.
Things I have tried and DID NOT WORK:
-F2 (I only see 2 option; "Windows 7" and "Memory diagnostic"
-F8 - Nothing works; Restore crashes, last known good config fails, repair does nothing, start normally fails
-Alt+F10 (tricky) - I see no options to select. It tells me "\Windows\system32\winload.exe" and THAT IS IT UNDER ALT+F10! I literally see nothing else on the screen
Crucial part: I am able to manage to get my desktop on and working normally. BUT, the second I restart it or turn it off and back on, I get the error described here. When I am on the "Edit boot options" menu, I am able to type (similar to the CMD) and NO MATTER WHAT I TYPE the computer starts up (literally). I can enter the letter "P" and it starts up.
I have: 3 recovery disks and 1 system disk. None of these boot up. When I place them in the computer (while the desktop is up) they just open up into useless files. When I put them in and restart the computer, they do NOT load up and i do not see the screen "press any key to start" etc...
I have 2 other posts with people helping me and they have tried very hard but have stopped helping.
I do not have the money to buy another computer and when I have my knowledge + the internet, there is no reason I shouldnt be able to fix this problem.
FYI: I am on my laptop writing this.
I AM CHECKING THIS THREAD EVERY FEW MINUTES!
I will add additional info if requested. Please help
Thanks!
