Im doing a clean windows 8 install. I formated all disks while installation process but then when I tries to create a new partition, somewhing stuck for about 15minutes so I decided to restart the laptop. After that everything boots very slowly. It takes about two minutes to get from Acer screen to windows 8 loader, after that black screen is shown and nothing happens for about 30 minutes. So i am sitting here and do not what can I do. Im not sure whether there are my old windows installed still, cause i formated all partitions. What could be wrong here? How can I get into windows 8 installer? By the way i used microsoft toolkit and wrote windows to flash drive. I already set in bios settings that flash is number one boot option. Thank you for your help.

I had windows 8 before. I even had windows 10. Im trying to install windows 7 now but the same thing happens. Even acer screen is taking 5 minutes to boot. I notice that all laptop lights also are on all the time

on acer laptop hdd usualy have a recovery part so if you format it you have loose this there is no more os on the hdd you will nneed to get a similar os that was on the sytem to install it ,could be starter or home you have to find it using the laptop specs .

I found my model. There are windows restore disk. Is that what I need? I know that when i bought that laptop there probably were installed linux, but on manufacturer page i see that windows 8 is written there. So do these rwcovery disks should work?
