so, I recently got my hands on an older pc without a hard drive. I also had a windows laptop die on me, but the HDD is fine so i put it in my new pc. Now, when i boot it gives me the option to boot windows or the recovery options. i try to boot windows. it goes for ~10 seconds and reboots. a quick google search indicated thats typical. i figured id try to boot safemode and do a driver sweep, but F8 only made a mini boot menu pop up so i used this: Safe Mode - Windows 7 Help Forums
guide to set it to boot into safe mode in the command line which i could access in the recovery options. and i rebooted it, and it tried to boot safemode aswell, and got partway along, but died again and reboot itself. so, should i give up and install ubuntu or something? I cant afford to buy a copy of windows.
