Hi there,
I've been having troubles with mine and my friend's PC. New installations aren't new too me. Let's start with mine:
Original hard drive flopped and died after installing Star Wars Battlefront from EA Origin. Now the drive just clicks. Bought new hard drive, installed Win 7, will restart and boot into Win 7, ONLY with DVD in drive. Without DVD, it brings up non-system disk error. I want to say that this is a Mobo issue now, but not quite sure. My PC is a refurbished model, details below.
My friend's: many years ago, his PC flopped and died, (Note: I've done reinstallations on his PC before, no hesitation.). The last time I did, his PC stopped recognizing the dvd (says drivers are missing). Friend never got a DVD with his and was bought at Future Shop (now closed Canada wide.). I installed Ubuntu 14.04 the first time I saw this on his PC so he can get back to his Team Fortress 2 asap. Now, bought him a new hard drive and I used my PC to install his version of Win 7 on hard drive, made an image of his drive and restore point on my external, transferred drive from mine to his. Start up his PC, goes to the Win logo loading, flashes, restarts. I go and try repair, windows image does become selectable (under certain circumstances of boot procedures), I click to make PC repair from image, but then says there's an error in reading the image.
Computers aren't new to me, but these current problems baffle me to the greatest degree.
Suggestion/help on what can be done would be greatly appreciated.
My PC details: HP Compaq Elite 8200 Convertible MiniTower/Core i5-2500 3.3Ghz/Gigabyte Radeon HD 6750/2x 8GB G.Skill Ripjaw RAM/300W Power Supply.
Friend's PC details: Asus something something.... Ah crap, forgot the model number, but still came with no repair discs at time of purchase.
