format and re install or repair

When using the restore disk it runs fine but a message pops up and says unable to continue then it reboots back into the same screen.

change the first boot device to optical drive in the bios, make sure your windows disc is in the drive and shut down

restart, delete and remake the partitions, format them and reinstall

do you have any external harddrives attached, my dell will look for bootup at all the usbs and if anything is plugged in it will give me that exact issue...unplug and restart... if not then put in disc and repair...GL

That should fix it, good luck
