    Hi I just wanted to install another version of win7(another language I already got) I wiped out the restore partitions and everything(they werent in english and was useless for me.) After selecting the 750gb partition to install the setup installed the windows, after restart screen just starts to flash ( leds turn on and off( screen is black no sign or whatsoever)

    my disk is Hitachi Deskstar 7K750 750GB SATA300 HTS727575A9E364

    and there is also another unspecified partition of 8GB is displayed on windows setup. I tried to delete it or formatted as another partition but nothing happened. So what seems to be the problem? The system just starts out and installs windows fine but like I said after installation, when booting from hard drive(hitachi is the first boot device) this flashing happens(and it does not end)

    Many thanks to everyone who helps in any kind of way.

    will it boot into safe mode? Could be that the windows installation does not have a good video driver for your gpu
