So, I installed Linux Mint from my USB after booting it from that, I used the default settings when booting it, imported my settings, but due to human error on my part, the installer was accidentally closed at a high percentage (around the 80s 90s region). When I reopened it, it would simply show a small rectangle in the middle of the screen I couldn't interact with.
When I tried to boot up Windows7 earlier, it simply gave a blue screen, even if I used Safe Mode, start normally, or any other option. After this, the computer would immediately reboot. Some of my windows settings were imported (like my desktop image) and I can use the computer under Linux. I really need to know how to fix this, I like this OS, but I need Windows for certain things.
Any help would be appreciated fully.

Fix Windows by choosing system restore or Windows complete PC restore

Re: Windows flashing a blue screen when booting
Problem is, Windows 7 was preinstalled on the laptop, and it didn't come with an install disk. Any ideas?

Guess I'll have to get a torrent client, I'm just hoping this works. Thank you.
Edit: I tried the Vista Loader option that appears on the Linux Mint boot screen and was able to fix it that way, thank you for your help however. Everything dual-boots properly now.

Re: Windows flashing a blue screen when booting
Make sure you create a Recovery Disk. Even if you never use it, it is a handy tool to have with any Windows Installation.
Thank You for the resolution,
Dave
