Install on new HDD, Can't boot from Win7 disk. Disk was burned from IS
Hi there.
Apologies if this has been covered before but I've looked through the referenced tutorials and searched a lot to no avail.
Background
I have a Samsung laptop which developed Hard drive errors before completely refusing to boot up. I have removed the hard drive and inserted a brand new hard drive purchased today. I have an ISO of the Win7 cd so I burned this to a blank DVD
Issue
I have set the CD as the primary booting device in the BIOS and started the laptop with the DVD in. The DVD does not boot and returns a black screen with "Operating System not found".
Please advise on how to proceed. I made a system recovery disk on another win7 machine which then gives me some options but I don't know how to do a clean install from here.
Many thanks in advance for your assistance.
S.
