reinstallation dvd hangs on starting windows screen

yes, it was free and they shipped it fast too

or, buy a new hdd...they arent exp...seen them on amazon same thing i got now, for 25 30 bucs...itll come new and empty, then i can figure out what i need to do to it , or what has to be done to it BEFORE i use the DVD on it..........this stupid HD had a lot of high level threats on it and a cpl of virus....i scanned that disk with malwarebytes took a cpl hrs and then i used my virus scan on it......so it was empty before i did this clean all thing......who knows maybe a part of the HD got corrupted from that crap on it

my computer is a lenovo all in one with win 8.1....i wish i had a desktop laying around......actually my other sis has a dell pc too, an older one, if i can i could try it there on hers...........i think i read a post somewhere where somebody had same issue, they put their HD into another pc and used the disk and it worked...but when they got back to their own pc and put the hd back in with the win 7 installed , the computer didnt work, it went right back to how it was acting before.........that would be my luck.....hahahahahaha

*****believe you can cancel the install by shutting down or ejecting the disk before pointing it to a place or drive to install on.**** can you elaborate on this? when or why am i to POINT it to a place or drive to install??? if its 1 HD isnt it supposed to just go there to that active partition??? and if i could take out the hd in my comp and put this one in and then put the dvd in, it would still only be 1 HD even tho its not staying in my pc

Is this still the boot order?



This really shouldn't be this difficult.

What I see is a USB HDD booting second, I assume that is the adapter? If not the ST3 HDD below it needs to move up to second.

Just for clarification, these BIOS pictures are from the Dell you are trying to install on?

All your symptoms are pointing to bad or corrupt media. From the first post it clearly has a problem loading.

We need to get you to try a different installer.

i know the HDD has to be 2nd, the usb Hd has nothing to do with the adapter, its just there in the list...but i do move the REAL HD to 2nd.....this screen is on the dell pc that im trying to fix.....the adapter gets connected to my own pc and then the HDD of the dell.........yea the hdd was whacked when i got it here to fix ...the dvd is new from dell......so whats the suggestions??

and THRASH, no ive never been that far along to agree to anything
