I recently formatted a hard drive in an old computer of mine because I want to install Linux on it to make it into a file server. Though when I try to install it the hard drive, a windows error comes up and says that the system32 file is not showing up. "Well duh, I wiped it silly computer." It then said to press F8 for the startup options, I pressed that and the screen just flashed and showed the same screen. Then on top of that I can not access the boot menu on my motherboard because I do not know what key to press and my monitor doesn't turn on fast enough for me to see the screen that tells me. I know if I am having troubles now I am probably going to have a hell of a time once I get past this, but I guess you have to learn somehow.
