My DELL studio 1555 has no operating system on it because the hard drive was completely wiped. Before the wipe it had windows 8 installed on it. it had no issues, I just wanted to install windows 7. But when installing windows 7 I get to the select a partition screen and it says it can't find or make a partition and that I should check the setup log files. I have already troubleshooted everything for that problem that I could find and absolutely nothing worked! I tried deleting all partitions and making a new one and then going into the command terminal and cleaning the drive and a few other things but none of it worked. After windows 7 failed I tried to re-install windows 8 but when I select to boot from my boot device (USB in my case because disk drive is broken) I get an immediate error message telling me that the boot configuration data is missing or contains errors. (status: 0xc0000225)
After that didn't work I tried installing Ubuntu Linux and I got and error message right after I selected my boot device saying remove disks or other media and press any key to restart. I have tries multiple times but it never works.
Thanks,
