I just destroyed the booting software?

1

Yesterday i decided to change my windows 8.1 for windows 7 for unexplainable reasons.. I just did it. So i ISOed an USB and bla bla till the point where you chose in what partition you install windows. In this section you can clean (format? Sorry im not english) delete and stuff partitions so i decided to delete every single partition letting only one 1TB big. I deleted EVERYTHING (complete NONSENSE, i know).

Now i got the bootmgr is missing screen plus no drivers plus no solution possible throug chkdsk commands. I cant even start the pc

Summary: i autoinduced my pc into the 0x80070570 error.

I know i deserve it for doing stupid stuff but i really am in a hurry cause i need to send emails to get a place in a Uni.

Could somebody reach me a helping hand i would be really really thankfull. Thans in forward

boot
chkdsk

Check your boot priority list in your BIOS. Did you already install windows on your "empty" partition? Maybe you're trying to boot an empty harddisk -> in that case, make sure your flashdrive is the first device that your BIOS would boot.

Your drive should not have suffered any permanent damage from having its partitions deleted. I suggest creating a 120GB system partition (for Win 7, others may require more or less) and use the leftover space for a game/storage partition. This allows for a future windows reinstall without loosing all your precious data.

The error 0x80070570 suggests that the filesystem on your installation media is corrupt. To resolve that simply find a working windows computer and run checkdisk on the USB partition to repair the filesystem.

If any of the files on the USB stick were corrupted you need to recreate the Windows 7 installation data on the usb stick. Alternatively you can burn the iso file to a dvd and install Windows 7 it using that instead.
