Windows 7 Windows 7 not running after I tried installing Kali Linux for dual boot

[Srijan Singh]

Hey everyone,
Please help me! I tried to install Kali Linux on my pendrive, but it was not complete due to some partition problem and I aborted the installation, after which my device restarted. But after the HP logo, the screen became black and unresponsive. I powered off by power button and when I restarted, something like this came up:

Realtek PCle GBE Family Controller Series v2.36 (07/29/10)
PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable

This was followed by another screen showing:
BootDevice Not Found

Can anyone please help me? I had some important data on my desktop and documents which I need to recover at any cost. I would be grateful for any kind of help.

Not intending to sound mean, but speaking from experience from managing several Linux groups every time someone mentions Kali it brings to mind that someone watched Mr Robot and wanted to be a "leet hacker" without the necessary knowledge to install Kali. Opinions aside you most likely wiped out your boot record or formatted the wrong disk. If you wiped out the boot record you can boot into a windows install disc and usually run a fixmbr command to recover from this. Otherwise if you formatted you'll need a live boot recovery environment with a data recovery tool and a external drive to recover your data to.
