So I was doing things on my computer, then I tried to launch a game I play all the time to it crashing immediately. I found out why and it was because all the texture files started opening with winwar(i dont know why). So then it kept saying all the files were unrecognized. It wouldn't let me set them back to their default setting, so I tried to restore my computer. At around 30% it said there was an error and needed to restart. So I clicked restart. Now my computer won't get to windows, it just restarts over and over. I can get the BIOS menu but after that, nothing.
 
Solution
u cant install windows there unless u set the boot priority rightly and set it to the installation drive...
at this point, what i ll suggest is...if u r finding it difficult to get it correct...then go to a professional store and let them do it for u...ideally, they wont charge much for windows installation unless u ask for a copy...
Okay, I havent gotten a USB drive yet(rip me lmao) but I have a hard drive i've never touched in my pc, not plugged in or anything. I just tried plugging it in but it opens straight to the BIOS, i've booted both things twice and it just isnt installing windows. It just goes to the same BIOS screen over and over, i cant even get it to restart over and over any more with the new hard drive lol
