Hello there.

 

Windows errors related to dwwin.exe?

 

 

 

dwwin.exe is a part of the Microsoft Doctor Watson error reporting tool which comes packaged with some Microsoft products. This program is important for the stable and secure running of your computer and should not be terminated.

 

 

Did you enter BIOS and under boot order tab set first boot device to CD/DVD rom and second to hard drive then pop in the install disk and save and exit?

 

You could remove the hard drive and fit as a slave to another computer and remove all your important files then replace and reformat the computer.
