ok i got it now its installing windows SO HAPPY FINALLY well ty for all your help if i need anything else il post on this thread
I'm very proud of how well you did. . You should stick around and help others.
Follow the steps to get a perfect reinstall this time and you'll never have to do it again: Clean Reinstall Windows 7 Factory OEM
Because when it's set up and running great you can save a WIn7 backup image, then you never have to reinstall again. Just boot the DVD to Recover Using An Image and reimage the HD or it's replacement in 20 minutes.
Keep us posted on how it goes and feel free to ask back any questions.
Wonderful work in this thread Greg.
Its great to read your posts and learn something new always.
oh umm its asking for my product key and i dont have my box or anything anymore
Are you following the steps I gave you? If this is the OS which came with the laptop then the Product Key is on the COA sticker on the bottom of the laptop.
Power down, close the lid and turn it over carefully to write down the Product Key from the sticker that looks like this:
Then click the pop-up box asking to Activate or go to Control Panel>System to insert Key. Be careful to type the characters correctly.
As it says in the steps you're not reading, it may require a robocall to MS to trade a series of numbers to set it up in their computers.
You do not need to do this now, so wait until you're rested and take your time to get it all accurate. There is no chance it will not work if done correctly.
oh btw why does my computer not find any networks and my wireless is on
