Hello shankly769, welcome to Seven Forums!


Have a look at this tutorial at the link below to see if you are setting it correctly to boot from a disk and be sure to post back with any further questions you may have and to keep us informed.


How To Change the Drive Boot Priority in BIOS

Windows 7 is on a DVD, not a CD. Use a DVD drive.

Are you getting the prompt to Press Any Key to Boot DVD? What happens if you do?

Where did you get Windows 7? Did you burn the DVD yourself? How?

yes it is in the cd boot setup

Frankly Mr. Shankly: this answers nothing. Please answer each question I asked if you want help.

its on dvd
dvd drive is used
yes having the promt to press to boot dvd,but then im getting the page to start win normaly or from safe mode
its original ,yes i burned it my self because original cd wont work,with nero using save data

Perhaps if you burn another at 4x speed and let the program do a verify before it finishes, use this program at the link below, it never fails.

ImgBurn Free ISO Burning Software

Where did you get original DVD which won't boot? Are you using its extracted ISO to burn the DVD? Extract again using Imgburn, burn at 4x as stated.

If this fails, write the ISO to flash stick using UltraISO trial: On File tab open ISO, on Disk tab Write Disk Image, Format, Write. Boot under USB or HD's on one-time BIOS Boot Menu.

If the original wont work then why should the copy?

im trying to copy it again using nero 9

it looks that the enter key wasnt working,but i opened a word document and typed few words,it worked.
