Hello wmauctions and welcome to the forums

Can you explain your problem in a little more detail please? This way we can choose the best way in helping you - perhaps EasyBCD isn't the answer

Running vista on a Compaq Perisio f700 and system was reinstalled by previous owner and a very poor job at it. The system would recognize the CD rom. I deleted the upper and lower filters. and rebooted and the system crashed will not boot past startup screen, tried F8/F10 to restore but get nothing but blue screen of death...LOL

I want to install win7 if i can get the cd to recognize cdrom

Have you got access to another computer?

Tom

 

[wmauctions]

Thanks for being so helpful with me.LOL

My BIOS is as following

F10 and F12 Delay (0)
CD_ROM
Floppy Boot
Internet Network Adapter Boot


I have NO Floppy Disk........??

Yes have access to another computer with Win Vista on it (My Wifes)

Richard, I hope you can see this. I'm not entirely sure what to do from here and your opinion and advice would be greatly appreciated.

Would it be better to create a bootable USB of EasyBCD and boot from that, or make a bootable USB of the Vista installation DVD and repair the computer?

Tom

Did you follow my instructions for boot priority?

 

[wmauctions]

Yes I just tried it again.!

 

[wmauctions]

If there is a way I don't care about anything on the Hard drive, I will reinstall anyways..!

[richc46]

Why not try to make a bootable USB of BCD? I hope that if you can boot, it will be ok.
