wipedrive won't let me boot vista

zero_end · 05-23-2009, 10:42 PM

Hi everyone. I made a big mistake by installing the wipedrive program in my computer only to find out that the damn thing won't let me boot the OS (vista)

. Just to clarify, i haven't erased anything, I just installed the program.

So does anyone of you by any chance have used this software and know how to boot to vista again? (so then i can proceed to uninstall that /%&$ software)

thanks in advance.

Hi -

When you format a drive (or in this, "wipe") it deletes the OS.

You'll have to install a new one.

Hi.

No, I haven't used the program nor I haven't deleted any partitions, I just installed the wipedrive and when booting it won't display any options for selecting an OS other that the wipedrive menu.

have you tried safe mode or even a start up repair http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/91...up-repair.html
