I've got the recovery disk, I can reach the BIOS page, the only thing that happens is the desktop can't actually start up Windows 7 in any way. I'm prepared to completely wipe the desktop, factory reset the desktop, etc... anything to get it to be a working computer again. But nothing I try seems to work. --Aabicus (talk) 22:34, 19 July 2015 (UTC)
If you have a recovery disk, you can safely wipe the current window operating system that is not working properly, because the recovery disk contains the image of your original operating system[1].However, I will try to diagnose the computer first before perform any actions that involve formatting your system. You can log in safe mode[2] by keep pressing F8 when your computer boot up and check if there is any pre-built recover image or uninstall any conflicting software may cause the system to stop working. Beside that there are several options you can do, Either repair the window operation system with recovery disk, or format the old window and re-install the image you had on your recovery disk. This is a tricky steps if you have a laptop, since each laptop has their own boot key, usually F11, F12, F8, or ESC if you own an ASUS laptop[3]. When you successfully boot into recovery mode, you can able to format and re-install your original operating system [4]Daoquang1 (talk) 00:53, 24 July 2015 (UTC)
