    Help, I had a failed factory reset, now Windows won't boot up


    Please help. Recently, I decided to do a factory reset, to cleanly wipe my drive, with the exception of Windows. When the reset was about 30% through, the reset failed. Now, when I try and use my laptop, it only gets to the ASUS logo, then goes to a black screen with a flashing underscore symbol on the top left corner. I've tried doing F9, SHIFT+F9, and everything else in between. My laptop is an ASUS G74SX, and I don't have a recovery partition for the laptop. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide. I also cannot get any external programs for the laptop, such as ISOs, etc.

    You'll need an iso


    See the comments in this thread. You will probably have to clean install Windows 10. https://www.tenforums.com/installatio...no-os-all.html
