reinstallation dvd hangs on starting windows screen

[nancyc]

also i see when its hooked up to the adapter then to my computer.....my computer doesnt even see/show this HDD, where as it used to show it as OS (H)

 

[nancyc]

i have it hooked to my adapter and comp again...here is what i have in disk manage
disk 2 basic 931.51GB online
win 7 100GB NTFS healthy(active primary partition) then the other side says 831.51GB unallocated

Hi,
Show a disk management screen shot of the hdd now
Sounds good to me win-7 has 100gb this is where win-7 install should be directed too if you haven't already done so
Not the unallocated space that is for future use well after the new install.

Well I thought I would wait for your usual 3 post in a row before posting but review this,

[nancyc]

awww come on now.........hahaha....well no drive letter was put on this because i did all that while it was hooked up to my computer......the tutorial didnt show any drive either........i changed the volume to 500000MB if i need to change it back i can, to 100GB........i put the disk back in the dell, and the link you posted about win 7 install failure, you want me to try to do that while the HDD is in the dell? ive looked thru all the different areas and dont see anything pertaining to uefi or legacy seems to be a pretty basic system......and so your link is saying for me to go and do diskpart again and all the while the HD is in the dell computer?? we shall see.....

It's either the bios are freaky or the install media ?
Use a camera and take shots of the option you have in bios

I don't know how to get into the bios all are a bit different some use the Delete key on startup some the F12 key or F10
F2 to setup and F1 to bios ?

 

[nancyc]

it is weird.....this dell inspiron 620 upon turning it on F2 is set up -bios- and F12 is boot options

 

[nancyc]

i tried uploading some pics i guess they are too big says to wait while file is uploading then i get a blank screen on manage attachment box

 

[ThrashZone]

Interesting might be a in a weird format jpeg's usually have no issues but the forum will compress them if too big.
Double check your camera settings and use medium image size and a common format like jpeg

 

[nancyc]

they were jpeg, is it possible to email them to you???

 

[ThrashZone]

No but you can use any file sharing site you wish too,
Onedrive/ photo bucket.....

 

[nancyc]

here is 1 pic from set up

 

[nancyc]

here is another in bios and the blue one is in F12 boot options

 

[ThrashZone]

OKay,
Go to the security section and Boot and take some more images
Back up so we can see the entire computer screen

 

[nancyc]

ok, actually that is the screen, what you see, i just cropped out the blank spaces...and it made it smaller so the pics would upload...

 

[ThrashZone]

Yes there are 5 different tab sections
Main/ Advanced/ security/ Boot/ Exit
Not necessarily in that order

 

[nancyc]

This is what i just did.....I took the reinstall dvd out of the dell pc..i made the boot order back to default...the HDD is hooked up to the dell and i turned it on...got the dell logo screen then this..............doesnt even see the HD is there......that must be why when hooked to sata adapter then to my computer late last nite and today, my computer doesnt even show another OS at all, but earlier in morning yesterday and day before it did show it as OS (H)....so something is wrong with HD whatever i did

 

[ThrashZone]

Well if you cleaned the hdd there wouldn't be anything on it besides marked as active :/
Insert the cd when on that page.
Then CTRL+ALT+DELETE keys

 

[nancyc]

did that, then when dell screen comes up i changed boot to dvd then it loads files starting windows and HANGS, if i leave it in HD boot 1st it just keeps going to same screen, saying no OS found.............probably why MY comp doesnt detect it anymore when its hooked up

maybe i should just CLEAR the whole HDD again...and start over.........so where do i begin....

Hi,
I believe you said you connected the drive to another computer and formatted it ?
Run clean and or clean all with the same method.

I would do the above



Personally you stopped before offering the security section in bios option
