How To Change the Drive Boot Priority in BIOS

 

[gregrocker]

Windows 7 is on a DVD, not a CD. Use a DVD drive.

Are you getting the prompt to Press Any Key to Boot DVD? What happens if you do?

Where did you get Win7? Did you burn the DVD yourself? How?

 

[shankly769]

yes it is in the cd boot setup

Frankly Mr. Shankly: this answers nothing. Please answer each question I asked if you want help.

Perhaps if you burn another at 4x speed and let the program do a verify before it finishes, use this program at the link below, it never fails.

ImgBurn Free ISO Burning Software

 

[gregrocker]

Where did you get original DVD which won't boot? Are you using its extracted ISO to burn the DVD? Extract again using Imgburn, burn at 4x as stated.

If this fails, write the ISO to flash stick using UltraISO trial: On File tab open ISO, on Disk tab Write Disk Image, Format, Write. Boot under USB or HD's on one-time BIOS Boot Menu.

If the original wont work then why should the copy?

im trying to copy it again using nero 9

it looks that the enter key wasnt working,but i opened a word document and typed few words,it worked.

listen m8.ive been using this many btimes,the original had scratches and the data was saved by a friend,so can i use a copy instead?
im searching speedy help because im stuck

 

[gregrocker]

Nero is inferior for working with images, which is why we suggested extracting and burning the ISO using ImgBurn at 4x speed. But this is only based on what's worked for several hundred others.

If it fails after extracting image with ImgBurn and slow burning another, then try flash stick. If both fail find another ISO by borrowing a DVD from friend to extract ISO or downloading one which you confirm is intact with nothing added. http://www.dasmirnov.net/blog/windows-7-rtm-sha-1-hash-checksum

If you will tell us where you bought Win7, we can possibly help you replace it.

if you have USB pen drive this is the recomended option:

A thought...

As greg asked in an earlier post... where did you acquire the original disc?

1. Did it come with the PC?
2. Did you buy it at a retail store?
3. Did you buy it online and download it?
4. Did you download a torrent?

We need to know to provide you with excellent help...

Also, if you have a friend who has a valid Win7 DVD you can use his/hers to install Win7 on your PC... just use your own CD Key

Are you using a PS2 or USB keyboard?

Can you post your specs.

What happened to the OP? We may never know....

 

[DeaconFrost]

It sounds like the BIOS might not be set to legacy USB, and the keyboard inputs aren't being recognized during the process. If he's getting the prompt, then it is booting from the disc, it just isn't picking up the keystrokes.

is it not possible to copy it to another partition and boot windows from that

Those days are long gone...and that complicates the process. Few people are installing from a DVD these days anyway, so the USB method solves all the issues that your suggestion used to circumvent.
