So returning to my big issue from before. Tech support at M$ told me, after much investimigation, that I needed to reinstall windows.
So I go through the BS and I get to the screen where I pick my partition to install on.
I format the hard drive Windows was originally on, and press ENTER to being the install. Unforutnately, it tells me this is not a valid volume to install on...except I just formatted it. I just gave the install permission to flash the drive and reinstall...but it doesn't want to.
IT MAKES NO SENSE!!!!!
Now I don't have an OS...****.
