Trying to Reinstall windows Vista Home Premium 32bit

weeman89

Ok Heres how it started i turned on my pc the other week (Dell Dimension
E520) and it froze so i turned it of by the power button on the front of
the pc and ever since then the pc will not load up it will just hang on
the loading screen for windows then just restart its self and sometimes
even go to a blue screen with a error like hidusb.sys. So i tryed
reinstalling windows vista and i get to a option "Where do you want to
install windows" and i have no options it says no drives where found.
And then says click load driver to provide mass storage driver for
installation and im completely confused why no drives where found is
this because i have to format my hard drive or is it something else.


By the way sorry if this is in the wrong forum im a "Newby" to this
site.

You should be able to install using the hidden system restore. It should
not be asking for a place to restore as it knows where to do it and has the
drivers which you seem to be missing with your approach.
