My laptop loads and says setup is starting services then a box comes on the screen saying "Windows could not complete the installation. To install Windows this computer, restart the installation" but can not find it anywhere to reset the think again. I've pressed f8 and done the 0 button but no where says for a reinstall. Can you help
 
Did you uninstall windows? or the computer freak out and shut down on its own at some point? I ask, because those are the usual reasons for this message. Unless your hard drive is going.
