Hi,

So I've managed to get into a problem with my Acer Aspire 5739G. I had win 7 pro 64bit on it, which is still There. I wanted to dual boot with win 8 pro, so i deleted some recovery and system reserved partitions. I did move the boot files and such, but it turned out not to work. Now, my computer says windows 7 loading, then it goes to a win vista similar boot screen, then bluescreen in halv a second before it reboots. Windows 7 doesn't detect the hdd during the partitions select, or When i use the repair boot option. I tried downloading both chipset and SATA drivers with my ps3, (lol), but they wouldt install, one zip and one exe. So where can i get the harddisk drivers for me to install during setup? Or how do i fix it? Quite desperate right now. Pllleeaaassee help! THANKS

Best regards, Erik

That stuff is required for Windows to run.

At this point, I'd just back up and regroup.
Install all from scratch.
