Bsod On Boot.
blue screen on boot after it updated itself. Error code is boot sector problem. Cannot repair itself because when you get to repair options, it won't let me choose. Automatically starts looking for windows installation and never stops. Won't load dvd driver, tried loading boot items on usb drive and that was a no. Hooked up hard drive on another computer and couldn't quite get windows to reload on the corrupt drive. Making me crazy.......thanks
