Windows install problem

ConnorJoshua · 29 Oct 2012 at 14:16

Ok so after I overclocked my cpu my system wouldn't boot back into windows and would just keep posting over and over again. So i tried re-installing windows and now after it installs and says it has to restart it gives me the option to install windows again! It doesn't give me the option to continue with the install. What would the reason for this be? Dead motherboard or HDD? Or...

I did try resetting the cmos with the jumper but i haven't took out the battery, i reset the bios a few times and tried to set it back to stock settings. I re-tried installing windows again and if it doesn't work i will re-try clearing the cmos

Ok, so i removed the battery and will report back in 30 minutes

I left the usb plugged in while it was restarting, but when it restarted it was on the completing installation step. Should i have removed the usb?

AHHHHH! Thanks guys. I had set it to keep on booting from the usb and didn't change it back to boot from the HDD.

honosuseri, it wasn't a SSD. But that was the problem. Can't believe i didn't think of that

It was plugged into a usb port on the case

I will remember that when I upgrade to a SSD thanks. I haven't checked if it's in ACHI yet but i haven't ran into any problems so far

Edit: Yup, it's in ACHI
