I donkey know I have it plugged into my usb drive is thst what I should be doing. All I have done is removed the battery then turn it back on. I have a black screen with those two options. Would taking pictures and posting them help any?
To get it clear , you replaced the Cmos battery and now restarted your Pc.
Choice F2 option if you are lucky you can back in windowsOS.
Important: if you inserted the windows usbstick remove it else it probably will try to acces from the usbstick.
So this is what I got when I took out the. Battery and hit continue I got the bsod message your pc needs to be repaired there is an invalid object in the boot configuration data store error 0xc0000034
You need to use recovery tools press escape for ueif firmware settings.
Now how do I configure my bios ro boot only that usb stick and nothing else? Or would tgat not fix this issue.
Well now I can get the Microsoft window loader to come up but it just gives me the hour glass symbol and nothing more been like this for 5 minutes now. Question if I had say a windows 8 version would I be able to just load that instead or would I have the same issue's?
What is exactly the problem
You can now boot into the USBstick but it won't load into windows installation/repair screen?
Then the usb stick is broken or the windows installation is corrupt.
Do you have a other windows installation disc or installation USBstick
I believe you can also use a other windows installation disc/stick like windows 8 or 8.1 to get in the repair modus.
