Hi,
I'm trying to format my hard disk and reinstall Windows XP / 7. But, the problem is the bootable CD is not booting at startup. I changed the BIOS , first boot device to CD. Still, no signs of any booting from the CD drive. I decided to boot from USB flash drive and made the flash drive bootable with the Windows software . However, that too didn't work. What i'm getting is a blank screen with a blinking '-' . No progress after that though I waited for 30 minutes!
I want to reinstall the OS by any means possible!! Is there any way to format and install the OS without booting? Or please let me know what could possibly the reason why the CD / USB is not booting??
Please help!!
Thanks
