Windows installation problem

Yeah that will work. Save it as an .iso, change your boot settings to load up first from your usb and let 'er rip

Tried.

Didn't work

I'm getting error code 0xc0000185

And with boot logging turned on, it says either there is errors in msrpc.sys or the file is missing

You are meant to yes but them sites I sent you they are only tutorials on how to make your usb into a boot stick.

FYI they were from two quick google searches.

The first: access bios

The second: set boot from usb

Point being, Google is your best friend, ask it questions (sensibly) it'll give you millions of possible answers with the ones at the top of the first page being most likely to help

cant believe I just explained how to use Google....

I know how to do all that.

It was letting me get into the boot menu to start with.

Now nothing.

I have tried all function keys and none work.

I know how to use Google.

It gives you options? And it says F8 for start up settings , or esc for recovery? You might want to try doing that and see where it takes you, then take it one step at a time. You can access google on your phone if you can get on here on your phone. Move through it step by step with the help from sites you get from Google ?

On a side note, I love how this thread used to be about a mod you couldn't convert and is now about your laptop not working. [MENTION=68711]KyleMassacre[/MENTION] want to split this thread?

I have tried them.

It just takes me back to the same screen with whatever start up option and the recovery

Sounds like your system is still booting into the C drive rather then from the USB/DVD, considering a fresh install wouldn't care about the current state of your installation.

Double check your BIOS boot options, and if there's an option try booting directly from the device during start up.

If you want to consider something other than Windows I'd highly recommend http://elementary.io

Thanks, but I did state that I can't access the boot menu or bios menu.

I could but now they won't show up.

The laptop will just keep Booting

Well if you have a USB disk or a DVD you may be able to get away with disconnecting the HDD. It's been a long time since I have used windows but if I remember the boot sequence is called that for a reason. It will look for the first available OS image and boot it. If it's not in the HDD then it should move on to a DVD-ROM possibly, if not there then it should go to removable storage like a flash drive.

Or or borrow a friends HDD set it as master, set yours as slave so it won't boot from yours and go that way.

Otherwise buy a new HDD. That may fix it but if your bios isn't letting you in then you have other issues. Maybe you downloaded something aweful and it corrupted your bios. If so, have fun with that
