For sure a nice idea for newbies. hmmm sounds like rtfd is not his friend, and I would sure have been suprized if he felt the same way had he considered the f1-rescue instead of enter to install, and the fact it is all spelled out in a manner even a 12 year old native english speaker could understand. I think the rescue mode is what he is asking for. or else he is asking for M$. and believe me, reinstalling over a botched install/configuratiion of M$anything does not neccessarly fix anything.
