Why delete all entries in your boot loader? I gather its not letting you boot in anything now.

I think you need to remove Ubuntu and EasyBCD. Then re-install just Windows 8.1

i was mad, and yes i have tried reinstalling win 8.1 but no luck the same blackscreen

Remove all drives. fit an internal speaker. Also do a cmos reset. Does it post?

If so, just put one drive in and install Windows (just one of them) on it. Does it now boot?

If not, test the drive in another pc with Checkdisk, virus scan and Seatools.

[laptop] i cant find reset or factory option in my bios... how can i?

i7Baby · Jul 7, 2014

OK - didn't see it was a laptop. Make and model?

Got a recovery disk? Is there a factory reset option - see manual?

A Windows reinstall should wipe your disk and put you back to a workable laptop.

If you remove the hard drive, will it boot to bios?

Aamir Arshad · Jul 7, 2014

it is booting to bios, but i dont know how to remove hdd in laptop

i7Baby · Jul 7, 2014

It shouldn't be that hard. You probably need to take covers off. Read the manual.

If you can get it out, plug it in to a pc and run a checkdisk on it to see if its working. If OK, you should be able to put it back in the laptop and install windows onto it. If not, buy a new laptop drive eg get a 1tb sshd. and install Windows on it.

You should only have one OS on your laptop. Which one do you want?

Aamir Arshad · Jul 7, 2014

i want 8.1,
i had live booted ubuntu for some file recovery....

?but is it matter that the installation of windows on C: drive or other drive.... mean does it create some problem

i7Baby · Jul 7, 2014

If you have a proper copy of Windows 8.1 then there shouldn't be any problems. If you put it on a good disk.

does making my pendrive live booted on win 7 will help??

i7Baby · Jul 7, 2014

No - you said you wanted Win 8.1

Aamir Arshad · Jul 7, 2014
