It's in native ide

wazza300 · 17 Jan 2015 at 18:40

you tried safe mode?

William-Mathew · 17 Jan 2015 at 18:48

I keep pressing f8 on boot but nothing happens

wazza300 · 17 Jan 2015 at 18:54

ok you have the windows disc?

boot from that and do system restore

William-Mathew · 17 Jan 2015 at 19:05

I have no restore point for some reason even though I have set it up

wazza300 · 17 Jan 2015 at 19:22

I don't know what to suggest,seemslike something got corrupted

tried doing startup repair with booting from windows disc,also tried with onboard graphics if you have them

William-Mathew · 17 Jan 2015 at 19:33

should HHD smart capability be on?

wazza300 · 17 Jan 2015 at 19:35

doesn't matter tbh

William-Mathew · 17 Jan 2015 at 19:39

Just booted in safe mode and it is working fine. Just getting all of my data off now

wazza300 · 17 Jan 2015 at 19:40

once you got the data off it see if you can do system restore,it should boot fine then if you can

William-Mathew · 17 Jan 2015 at 19:44

It just says not point found. Because I created a system volume when I set the SSD and HHD up would that be affecting anything. Try to go to computer and click on manage but it says there is not enough space. What does that mean

wazza300 · 17 Jan 2015 at 19:48

idk

the sata ports should be on ahci mode aswell if using an ssd,idk if you ever changed them? but it will blue screen if you change them now

they have to be set to ahci mode before windows installation,if you could boot into windows ok provided its windows 7 you can download/run this reg file while in windows then reboot/set to ahci and that's it

Windows 8.1 I have

wazza300 · 17 Jan 2015 at 19:59

it wont work with that then

for windows 8 stay in windows in safe mode as you are and run this,then restart to bios/set to ahci from ide/boot into windows

Download onto memory stick then run?

wazza300 · 17 Jan 2015 at 20:36

no download run it from within windows if you can,then reboot to bios/set to ahci/boot into windows

William-Mathew · 17 Jan 2015 at 21:13

Does not work. Windows just crashes and restarts and the same thing happens

William-Mathew · 17 Jan 2015 at 22:17

Would I just be better to just wipe both drives and reinstall windows since I have my files?

wazza300 · 17 Jan 2015 at 23:47

Yh looks like you've tried all you can,remember to set sata ports to ahci in BIOS before you install windows though
