Dell latitude E6420 - Failing to install from DVD
Dell latitude E6420,
Installing a new copy of Windows 7, with a original copy that works, tested on another PC.
The laptop is loading up "press any key to boot from CD" but afterwards there is just a black blank screen, with the top left line flashing, and it just stays stuck like that.
It booted up into the old windows install fine before, I've also tried a copy of Windows 10 and it does the same.
I've run the Dell tests, and it says the dvd drive is running fine, and I've had no problems with it.
My problem now is I messed up the old windows install, resizing the partition, and now it won't even boot into the old one, but that would be fine if it would load from the windows DVD. However despite what I've just done, the problem is exactly the same, before, and after.
Any idea's?
