Well, funny story. I got a virus and when trying to remove it, my anti-virus software deleted something vital in windows vista, now nothing on my computer operates, it can't even boot up properly.
So I thought, "I'll go buy Windows 7, the operating system installation still works." I bought Windows 7, inserted the disk, selected the language options. I went to the next step and it said "Setup is Starting" I waited 15 minutes before looking again and it was still there, another two hours went by and I thought, "This ain't going to work, i'll look it up in google"
The main messege i've been seeing is "Disable Floppy Disk in BIOS". So I started BIOS and noticed there's no floppy disk options, so I don't have floppy disk feature on my laptop. So instead, I disabled any other things which may be causes this error, everything apart from the CD Rom/DVD Rom. Yet, it still didn't work. So this is really starting to irritate me, I wouldn't like to take it to a PC shop and be ripped off for something which I could find on the internet.
If anyone of you could give me tips on getting round this problem, it'd be much appreciated.
