long story short a couple days ago I messed around with some USB drivers to trick windows into thinking my usb drivers where local so I could merge them into 1 partition but I kinda messed up and my computer would only boot with digital signatures de activated, (The local usb drives still worked though) My pc would only boot with digital signatures de activated, not even safe mode and windows was not able to repair it, I removed drivers but problem still perstited. so My stupid A** decided to upgrade to windows 10 and see if it changed the issue but now I finished upgrading it wont boot into windows. the f8 screen before boot (to select boot options for windows) is not working so i cant seem to start in safe mode or with digital signatures off. Should I just do a fresh insta of W7 and loose 100gb worth of programs and games? any help would be greatly appreciated.

You could try using a repair disk and fixing the mbr, not sure whether it is going to help. Fastest way to certainly get your PC working again would probably be a fresh install.

Well when I was able to boot W7 I backed up My 60GB worth of games to a USB drive so Im not  loosing that much, Just a shame I have to download a bunch of drivers, Applications and stuff back considering I have 0.29 down (Gonna take weeks to download GTA 5)

Ooph that's harsh. Might consider trying that repair disk then.

I'm confused by what you're writing, USB drivers and partition?

 

You can't partition drivers, you meant flash drive?

Im trying to join USB drives into 1 drive, But windows does not allow doing ti to removable media so I modified Drivers for USB storage and for that I needed to allow Not digitally signed drivers. I got it working though but the system used to only be able to boot with digital signed drivers de activated

You probably broke the MBR, you can try to fix it by going into recovery...

 

For Windows 10;

Windows Recovery Menu (F8 during startup);

Click on Troubleshoot;

Click on Advanced options;

Click on Command prompt;

 

In the command prompt, type the following commands;

 

bootrec /RebuildBcd

bootrec /fixMbr

bootrec /fixboot

Exit

 

And restart, it should work.

You can do that without a recovery disk now? Sweet.
