Hello
I put the latest version on a USB and tried to install it on a new HP SSD. The original hard drive freezes and hangs on startup, endlessly trying to scan for errors and go into 'recovery' mode. So I thought I would just grab a new hard drive and put a fresh copy on it, and make the old beast blazing fast. The hardware has always struggled with WinBloat anyway.
At the end of the install, the message "If you turn your computer off, it won't start again because you have no bootloader". After I found out that it was actually serious, and that my computer really will not start, I tried a few things and then came here.
I have no idea if it copied onto the new HD.
Details on the laptop:
Asus G750JW
Nvidia geforce gtx 765m
core i7
originally ran Win 8
purchased in summer 2013
has a CD ROM if that helps
i still have the original C drive, it has lots of data and stuff i want
also have the original D drive
I used to be good at this stuff but I am overwhelmed and could use a hand.
thanks
