Right im selling my laptop so i want to reinstall windows.
I have a dell so i made my own discs from the software on the laptop, i reinstalled it fine but once i shut it down and turned it back on i get this error...
'Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:
1. Insert your windows installation disc and restart the computer.
2. Choose your language settings, and then click next.
3. Click "Repair your computer".
I have now reinstalled windows like 3 times to try and solve this, it works at first but then as soon as i restart or shut down and then turn back on.... this error comes back! Helppppp

It is a 2.4GB download but will see if it is your disc

In the second section
