HI Visakh. Thankyou for your kind help. But, my problem is that the system is not booting up from any device after win7 installation messed up. That is, I cannot boot from cd or pendrive. In this situation, trying to install anything is simply not going to produce any results. Well. I have disconnected the HDD from the laptop, and now I am able to boot from usb stick. I will soon try to repartition the broken HDD, by connecting to some other system. HDD has no physical damage, I hope that I can repair the HDD by repartitioning.
I am waiting for getting a HDD to usb adapter, so that I can connect it to another system.. regards, Mathew Roy On 29 December 2012 14:36, Visakh <gokulda...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > What OS do you have on that system other than the messed up Win7 > installation? > > You could try to reinstall win7 again.
