PC Stuck on "Press any Key to boot to CD/DVD"
My PC was acting slow lately, so I backed up my files and decided to do a clean install. I inserted my newly purchased Windows 7 Home Premium disc and deleted all partitions, and installed. Install went fine until first reboot, and the PC got stuck after Post, displaying the message "Press any key to boot from CD/DVD" Not pressing anything and letting it go through all the dots will prompt the PC to freeze, while taking the disc out or changing boot order to HD first results in a blinking cursor. I have also tried this with an XP SP2 disc and a Vista Ultimate disc, same problem.
The thing is, I can install Linux Mint, Ubuntu, or any other Linux distro just fine. The only problems are with Windows.
Any help, or is this PC done for Windows?
