Not able to boot into system [duplicate] up vote 0 down vote favorite This question already has an answer here: How to reinstall Windows 7 using in-place upgrade when the system is unbootable? 1 answer I have a computer with Windows 7. When I boot it, I get the usual starting animation, the system restore error harddisk LED blinks but then the screen gets black and nothing more happens. No sound, so activity, no changes when I press any keys or the mouse buttons. When I start the computer with a Fedora 23 Linux live system from usb pendrive, it has no problems, everything works out of the box. When I start the Windows system restore (I have testet several restore points), it takes some minutes with harddisk LED activity, but then an error appears: 0x8000ffff, and some text, that it is an unspecified error. Not helpful. I am not very experienced with recent Windows systems, but very experienced with Linux and Mac OS X. So I need help here. Now the question is: What is the best and fastest way to get the computer back to work with the old Windows 7 system? When I use the Windows 7 install CD, is there a way to install it over the old system? Could this work? Will the installed software work (or at least most of it)? I have not tested it, as I don’t want to destroy anything, until I know what the best approach is. windows-7 windows-7-restore share|improve this question asked Jan 16 at 12:28 erik 95
