First: i will try to be as accurate as possible, i was in stress mode, and dont remember everything perfectly. ( also the first time upgrading big like this)
So, today i wanted to upgrade my PC big time, I got a new mobo, CPU, and graphics. When I turned it on the pc it said that either some software was installed incorrectly, or that there is new hardware(im using my old HDD btw) . So i got the options - repair automatically- or-start windows normally. starting windows normally restarted it and it just started all over from there. Repair had 4 options: repair automatically - repair automatically+something? - reset the harddrive to the point where only windows is installed - backup all the files.
so i went with backup, but my single hard drive only had 40GB from 300 left, it gave me the option to save on another, but i only have one. Thats where i lost it and gave up. edit: I also tried the repair auto. option, but then the PC said it didnt know whats up.
what would you recommend, ( i would get a new hard drive and do a backup now, and then reset to just windows being on it, but it still scares me)
new question: resetting the hard drive to just windows being on it will probably fix it right?
