I formatted a computer and installed Windows 7 on it.
After a couple of days it crashed. It now gives the error:
Windows Error Recovery: Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:
1. insert your windows installation disc and restart your computer.
2. choose your language settings and then click "Next"
3. click "Repair your computer"
If you do not have this disc, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.
status: 0xc000000f
I tried using the Installation CD to repair it but it didn't work. Then I tried to do a new install but that also didn't work. It doesn't allow me to format the hard drive. I connected the hard drive to another computer via USB and tried to format it via Disk Management and I'm not able to either. Is the hard drive beyond repair at this point? Or is there anything else I can try?
