Root CWM Loop unable to get computer to recognize phone

Hello, I rooted my phone today and on the step before installing a rom after restarting my phone I constantly get pushed to CWM instead of loading up even the stock OS. I didn't put the ROM I wanted on yet (Cyanogenmod) so I can't load it from CWM, and for some reason I can't get my computer to recognize the phone anymore. It registers that there is something connected on the correct disk drive but it is greyed out and I can't access it (it says "Please insert a disc into drive(where my phone is)". If I was able to get my computer to recognize that my phone is attached I think I could flash the phone with twrp instead and maybe get it to load from there, but as it is I can't do anything I normally could while it was connected. Going to do some googling for my problem in the meantime..
 
So I managed to get out of the boot loop by holding down the power button for 10+ seconds, but how do you manage to install TWRP? Since I have clockwork installed I dont see a way to get to fastboot.
 
IF you get out of boot loop. when phone is off hold down volume down and then push power for a second then release power while holding volume down.

Then when you get to hboot select fastboot with volume buttons and press power button once.

how are we supposed to do this if the pc wont recognize the sd card.

The PC should recognize the "mount" as plug-and-play Storage Device and auto-install. Then you can place the ROM file over there and install it, DO NOT FORGET to install "boot.img" from ROM .zip [extract it in "Android/sdk/platform-tools" folder] in bootloader mode, with command : "fastboot flash boot boot.img'

If you cannot access bootloader this way, try : Holding the power button for about 14-15 softkey blinks [the phone auto-restarts after 14 or 15] and press vol down after that 14 blink, until you reach the hboot screen, after that you can install the new recovery from CMD.
