Deleted everything on my hard drive, can't install windows again

HeyImLaFong · Oct 2, 2015

Hey,
I just deleted everything on my hard drive (I right clicked on the hard drive and manually pressed "delete" on all files that were there)
Now my computer isn't working. I have my windows 8.1 64 bit operating system on a drive. When I start up I can log in but after tat everything is black. When I try to reset it to factory settings it always says "Unexpected error". What to do guys?

boot off the windows installer cd then go to system tools..system restore and see if you can roll the pc back. if not pull the drive out from your pc...plug it into another pc and run a file recovery tool.

see if it can recover your files. if you dont format or run any tools on the drive it should be able to fix the drive.

if you have windows pc and a cd rom burner make a bootable cd disk.
if not use a usb stick make it bootable and copy hirem files to it and them boot from the usb stick.
if you dont care about the files on the drive..
boot from windows 8.1 cd or download windows 8 iso and use the microsoft iso to usb tool to make a bootable usb stick. boot from the usb stick...delete all of the partion then let windows do a clean install on the drive.
