Hp pavilion elite installing windows seven from wiped hard drive
Upon installing windows 7 on a hp pavilion elite from a wiped hard drive I encountered a few issues. First I loaded everything as usual and when it came to partitioning I assumed it would have selected the correct one automatically. There were a few there two primary an u allocated space and one labeled hp. I believe the hp one was selected initially. It went on and completed the first step and was restarting. When it booted it up it went to a black screen with a _. I tried to troubleshoot using forums for similar issues no luck. So I reloaded windows seven and hit repair computer. It told me it recognized an error and asked to repair and restart. I did so. No change. Restarted computer with windows disc and reloaded install setup. This time I used a YouTube video to select proper partition. This video had no previous partitions so fed up I deleted all partitions that it would allow me too. It continued to the screen where it saves files then expands then load features etc. this time the computer froze at 28% expanding files. I left it for a while and no change the cursor wouldn't even move. So I shut off computer. Now when I turn computer on the monitor displays no signal. I have checked and rechecked cables it's all right and proper. The go symbol lights up on coy and I can hear fan but no matter how many times I restart it it still displays no signal. Please advise
