    I did the clean install and now when I turn on the netbooj it comes up with no bootable device press any key is this right :S
    So you did not do a CLEAN INSTALL,
    you were doing a OEM manufacturer's Restore.

    You can download an image and make a bootable usb drive - that should sort your problem to reinstall.

    If you can find an exact Windows version that the PC shipped with you can do a clean install using the activation key on the COA sticker attached to the PC though it may require a robo-call to MS to sort the OEM batch-key.
    If you can't find an exact same version, you could use the info in this tutorial to create an "all versions" installer of any version Windows installer, to install using the same method I posted above.
    After you have made backups of everything you care to save, the best method is to do a complete wipe secure erase of the entire Hard Disk Drive first, it over-writes everything, all the old Windows code including all the old drivers/programs, giving you the best possible space to install Windows to.

    Have a look through this information.
