Solved Can't boot from CD to install fresh copy of Windows 7 64bit Ultimate

[dc2099]

Hi guys,

I recently purchased a new internal Samsung SSD 850 EVO (my first SSD ever!) and another internal Hitachi 1TB as a backup drive for my ASUS N73SV laptop.

The HDD's are recognized by the latop and are all showing, my issue is I can't get the laptop to boot from CD so I can install Windows. I've tried all the options and have some knowledge with computers but I'm no expert.

Here are the rest of my BIOS settings if anyone is kind enough to take a look.

Thank you.

Some of those asus boards bring up a one time boot selection menu on pressing esc key.

No good, I've tried the ASUS support page with no luck.

Hi guys,

It turns out my optical drive was faulty and I installed Windows from a USB drive. Thank you all for taking a look at my thread to try and resolve the issue.
