It's been a long time since I posted here, so hopefully this is posted in the right place.

I have a small Samsung netbook (nc110) and as a laugh, I put an SSD in it and installed Windows 10. The laptop was running really slow and struggling to keep up, so in threw it I'm a cupboard for a few years. I recently found it and decided to downgrade back to windows 7.

I downloaded and installed it, just on top of my existing os, however, I accidentally installed x64 instead of x32, so none of the drivers are compatible. This time I figured I'd do it correctly, and download windows 7 x86 and make a bootable USB.

I do all that, plug in the usb, and it refuses to boot from it, it doesn't even show up in the bios. Now, the original os isn't loading, it keeps kicking me into system recovery, and no matter what option I pick it just gets stuck in a never ending loop.

So guys, what can I do? There are no important files on the SSD, just the wrong os and a few programs to try and fix it haha.

Any questions, just ask.

Thanks guys
