Ok so my hard drive was corrupted just before christmas, I didnt fix it till last week when installed windows to a hard drive from an old laptop.
I was getting the message "a cd/dvd device driver is missing" and i got round this by booting and installing from a usb.
Since then the hard drive as corrupted again (I think football manager is corrupting it) so i have bought a used hard drive from cex. When i try to boot from a cd i get the same message as above ("a cd/dvd device driver is missing" )
If i boot from the hard drive i get the error code "0xc0000098" which i have gathered means there is no system 32. So i have tried to boot from a usb but I am getting the error code "0xc000000e"
Is it not possible to boot from a usb without system 32?
How can i get round this and install windows?
Any help, tips or advice would be welcome.
P.S. this is my first post, sorry if its in the wrong place
