Yes, it is still not booting into Windows, but it has been a couple of days since I have had a chance to be in the office.

 

This is what i see when i do the list disk command

It seems to have taken the letter W, but it still is not finding an OS.

Is it possible that something is wrong with that volume? After rebooting, when going back into diskpart, it's not keeping the drive letter. If I assign it and do the list volume command again, it shows the letter, but if I restart, then it's no longer there.

This is the output I received from entering the commands.

It is not allowing me to delete the volume.

 

 

 

 

 

[robkbriggs]

after issuing the DELETE PARTITION OVERRIDE command, it came back with an output of;

 

Diskpart successfully deleted the selected partition.

 

Would you like me to continue with the rest of the commands?

I received an error when running the last command:

Boot files successfully created.

[robkbriggs]

It blue screened It turned off before I got the error code.

 

Would you like me to try to boot it again?

[robkbriggs]

The laptop automatically turned off before I could get the error code written down.

 

now upon reboot it is back to the same HP logo with a spinning circle under it as it originally had.
