I have recently performed many monumental fuck-ups and destroyed a PC to the absolute brink, I don't even know if it can be brought back.
I've tried:
Boot windows repair via USB fixes
Installing windows 7
Installing windows 10
Nothing works.
This is what I did:
Installed windows 7 in the same particion as windows 10. It overwrote it but I had no drivers or USB support, thought I was clever by copying the windows.old/system32/drivers folder into the new windows 7 folder. This bricked my PC so that it wouldn't start. I then went into the start-up repair tool and formatted the C: wanting to do a fresh reinstall, this has absolutely fucked me. Now I can't do anything.
Installed windows 7 gives a "critical file missing spaceport.sys"
Installing windows 10 gives a "critical file missing fbwf.sys"
Trying to use a boot repair disk gives the error "uncompression error -- System halted".
I have no idea what to do. Will buying a new hard-drive and replacing the old one allow me to fresh install windows? That's my main question, or will I still get the same errors? Why is it looking for system32 files when I'm installing a new OS? Fuck my life.
