The below tip comes handy when every option fails. No system restore, repair nor ASR works.
You will need :
1. Setup files from the cd or simply download an ISO from one of the torrent sites. You can always activate your version of Windows later.
2. WintoFlash software. You have an option of using a paid version as well but in our case we will stick to the free version.
3. A BIOS which supports booting from a USB Storage device. It is usually the USB-ZIP option. You can check this from the boot options in the BIOS.
4. Daemon tools if you are using an ISO/MDS file.
5. Another PC or laptop if your pc cannot boot into Windows.
Flashing the USB:
1. Make a folder with all the contents of the setup files or mount ISO in Daemon tools.
2. Open WintoFlash and select the option to make bootable USB with Win 7 or XP.
3. Select the folder where you saved your files or select your virtual CD-ROM drive letter as the origin.
In the destination path, select the drive letter of your USB.
4. Verify the paths selected and start the flash. This will format your USB and load it with the boot files required. All data stored on the USB will be deleted and replaced with the windows system files.
5. Once completed, unplug the USB and put it in your Pc slot.
6. Switch on your pc and keep pressing F12 (or in some cases F10) which opens up a screen that lets you select your first boot device. Select USB-ZIP here (different BIOS's may have different options).
7. The pc will start again and you get the windows setup screen if you have followed the above steps correctly.
You should not face any problems if the process is done correctly, however, if you do, drop in a comment below and I ll try my best to answer your queries.
Ps: I also offer remote services for any desktop related issues at 5$ an hour :-)
