It had a message that said hard drive failure imminent and should be replaced. I swapped it out with a old HD and am trying to install Windows 7 on it.
The problem is that I can't get to the bios. On start it says to press f10 to enter setup, but it doesn't do anything. When I disconnect the drive then it'll boot from CD if I press shift + f10 (still can't enter bios). And I just plug the HD back in. Now it's giving the following error when trying to install Windows:
Windows cannot be installed to this disk. This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure the disk's controller is enabled in the computer's BIOS menu.
I'm at a loss as to what to do.
