I got a new hard drive and my bios reads it fine it also passes tests. all my settings are set to default. I have my cdrom boot sequence first because im trying to install windows from a bootable dvd on startup. I also get these results without ANY media or components attached. Its got a gig of ram. I also tried to slave the new hard drive with an external enclosure cradle and went to diskmanagment then tried to initialize disk drive and says error drive not ready, i then went to cmd and used DISKPART command and there it was listed offline so i got offline to say online now, and by the way my working pc wont see the drive connected as a usb mass device as it usually does but anyway this didnt help any i still get this error message when i try to boot up. Finally here is the error messsage below that shows when i boot my brand new hard drive up.
