New PC wont load

[Sheekey]

Hey this is my first post here since it seemed to be full of helpful people.

So yesterday i got my new MSI motherboard with 4gb ram and my w7 disc

I previously installed w7 on my new harddrive that came and that wont load because of old motherboard drivers according to people

And my CD Drive wont read my w7 disc to install, i can get into the MSI bios and set it to boot first but it does nothing, ive took it apart put it all back together so many times and i just cant find the problem

So my PC loads and just goes to a black screen with a flashing underscore after the MSI image

Please help this is a joke

Hello Sheekey, welcome to Seven Forums!


Have a look at this tutorial at the link below and the snip, then boot the Windows 7 installation media to see if diskpart will start and list the partitions to see if they exist at all.

Is there anyone you could borrow a PS2 KB from for a while?

And my CD Drive wont read my w7 disc to install, i can get into the MSI bios and set it to boot first but it does nothing, ive took it apart put it all back together so many times and i just cant find the problem.

Am I seeing this right? You mean a DVD Drive, don't you? The Windows 7 media is on DVD, the last Windows OS on CD was Windows XP.

I could possibly get one yes but will this 100% solve it? As he will have to travel to bring it to me

I can't guarantee that but it'll be one more thing you have ruled out as the culprit.

Check in BIOS for USB legacy is enable, & not disabled.
or
Try a PS2 keyboard.

You can boot free Partition Wizard bootable CD which will autostart. http://www.partitionwizard.com/download.html

Click on the HD to highlight it then from Disk tab Wipe HD with one set of zeroes.

This will force the DVD to autostart too.

Of course the USB keyboard will need to work to install but may start working once you are into the installation environment.

That's a good idea too, if the PW boot disk won't boot, then something else is wrong for sure.

Have a look at Option Three of this tutorial at this first link below for an outline of the wipe secure erase process.

Partition Wizard : Use the Bootable CD
​

First download the Partition Wizard Bootable Disk (PWBD) ISO file to the desktop, be sure to get the PWBD and not the installed version; scroll down to see the download link for the bootable CD ISO file at this link below.

​

Then use ImgBurn to burn the ISO to a CD, at no greater than 4x speed with a verify; it was designed for use and works best from a CD rather that a then boot the created CD to make the changes.
