Computer formatting problem!?My computer's OS i.e. Windows 7 stopped working, I had tried everything like system repair/recovery nothing worked. Now I have downloaded the windows 7 Setup and trying to format. I have got and iso. file and burnt it into a cd. when I boot through that CD, the windows Boot manager opens and its says choose an operating system to start or press Tab to select a tool. The problem with my computer is that it keeps restarting. but now it doesn't even start the setup from the cd. Can you tell me what I have done wrong. I have a laptop too and I have tried booting the CD in it, same thing. The setup does not start, What should I do. You can ask me anything else you want. The problem can when the computer did not start i.e. that problem was in the hardware then, when it got repaired, the windows got corrupted. I want to know how I can start the formatting setup through my CD now and another thing is while booting there is no line press any key to boot from cd/dvd. there is just a blinking '_' and when I press something the windows boot manager opens. there is the OS windows 7 there which if operated restarts and I want to format my computer. it doesn't work in safe mode either. If your answer work I will surely give you the best answer, and I used image burner software to put the .iso file to my DVD. Please help. :'(

It initially looks to me as an issue of the media. Since you have tried the CD in two systems and it does not boot, I think the media needs to be changed. Its possible that the OS media is corrupted and is not able to start the system. The OS in the HDD is also corrupted and for this repair/reinstall may be required. In this case the media becomes very important. Please try to arrange for the alternative media and then format the HDD.
