Trying to install Windows 7 on Samsung 530u3c. Laptop won't boot
- by Osvaldo
I just bought a Samsung 530u3c with Windows 8 installed,so it's a week old. From day one, I have wanted to revert back to Windows 7.
So I have created a USB bootable drive with Windows 7 on, and tried installing it both on the SSD 24GB drive and the 465GB SATA HDD. The laptop will not boot from either drive.
After trying to boot once, the laptop reboots and then presents me with a boot menu that only shows the SATA HDD. Selecting it does nothing.
So I'm losing my mind here. I have absolutely no clue on how to solve this. I'm starting to think i just threw away 700 Euros... :(
Any thoughts on what my next steps should be in troubleshooting the issue?
Installation goes through without problems. All files are copied. By the time the laptop needs to restart, it goes into a boot loop.
