So at some point I ran a windows update that failed. I restarted and the boot
screen came up and then the windows loading screen and then just a blank
screen with the cursor, and nothing else. I tried everything, safe mode, etc.
Eventually I decided to take out the harddrives, plug them into my buddy's
computer, move everything important to the data slave drive, and figured I'd
format and re-install windows on the master drive. So I out the hard drives
back in, get the recovery disc that came with the computer, put it in, set to
boot from cd, the windows install comes up. It says the drive already has a
version of windows and that it needs to format the drive. I say ok and it
formats, then it copies the windows install files. When that finishes, it
says it needs to restart and then installation will continue. I say ok, and
it restarts. But then it just does the boot-screen, goes black, then restarts
to the boot screen and again and again. So the windows installers gives me an
endless boot-loop. What should I do?
