The laptop won't start after trying to install a virtual machine. It will show the windows logo and fails just before showing the logon screen? How do I fix this.

EDIT:

My computer gives me the options to start normally which doesn't start the computer and open startup repair which ends up in a blank screen. Upon clicking the Start Normally windows logo appears but the startup fails before the login screen.

The problem is I don't have the installation disk( Windows).

  • My guess you need to repair your installation. There are hundreds if not thousands of articles online that describe how this can be done. All it requires is a Windows 7 media.

On start up, press F8 (or F7 if F8 fails) and select Use Last Known Good Configuration - we'll see if that helps.
