| 1177370 | 2011-02-12 02:41:00 | Having trouble with my netbook i was trying to reformat to win 7 but it decided to play up by consistantly getting me to use the built in recovery program which would take it back to its factory setting with win7 starter on it. I have tried this about 10 times and it goes no further i keep on getting windows is loading files and it brings up the recovery progam again and it won't return back to any operating system at all just this constant loop of go back to the same old thing over and over again. Is there any body out there who can help me to get my netbook up and running again please. |

| 1177373 | 2011-02-12 04:01:00 | In chch cant test the hdd cant get that far to do anything Of course you can - download the UBCD from here (www.ultimatebootcd.com), and boot off it before Windows loads (you may need to change the boot sequence in the BIOS), and run SeaTools etc to test the drive. Also, if you can get into advanced recovery options, you should be able to get a command prompt, from which you should run CHKDSK /X to check your drive for errors. |

Have a read of this ( . microsoft . com/help/iso-tool" target="_blank">store . microsoft . com) . TBH, I've never had much luck re-installing from a USB; I'd suggest you burn the . iso to a DVD and go for there . . . . The KISS principle applies here!! ;) |

The KISS principle applies here!! ;) Only its a netbook so maybe not quite that simple . What version of Windows Seven do you have on the flashdrive? If its not the starter edition you will need to make sure you've got a licence for it, as the current one won't work . |

| 1177378 | 2011-02-13 20:42:00 | I tried booting my net book by making win7 into an iso on my usb stick but it didnt work there isnt much more i can do that i know of still keep getting the boot screen and the factory recovery program which asks me to install that to erase the hdd but that doesnt work either. The only thing can think of is to buy a portable dvd writer and try installing win 7 that way. |

| 1177379 | 2011-02-14 05:50:00 | Did you simply copy the iso file to a usb flash drive? If so that won't make it bootable you need to use something like the tool nofam linked to. | stormdragon (6013) | ||
