Windows install interupted

Hi guys,

so I was doing a routine install of Windows 7 on my dads laptop (previously on Vista basic). However towards the end of the install the laptop overheated and interupted the install. Now when I boot up I'm greeted with a message that says

The computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error. Windows installion cannot proceed. To install Windows, click "OK" to restart the computer, and then restart the installation"

problem is when I click ok it restarts fine but I seem to be stuck in this circle!

Any advice to get the install up and running again chaps?

reformat and reinstall?

Trying desperately not to sound too thick, but where do I get to the option for a reformat?

Nevermind found it. Hopefully no overheating again....

Maybe invest in a laptop cooling stand, or make sure that its well ventilated.
