I put my hard drive with windows 7 already installed into a dell optilex 760, but when I turn it on it gets to the 'starting windows' screen but then reboots itself! I then tried to boot from CD drive with my windows 7 disk but it tells me the selected boot device not availble - strike F1 to retry boot, F2 for setup utility Press F5 to run onboard diagnostics. I have no idea what to do next! Thanks for reading.
Reboot loop, cant boot from CD drive either!

If you took hdd preinstalled with windows 7 on other machine it might not work with you other (current laptop).
I think you should put it back in the old machine and Format it i.e wipe it clean then install it in laptop and boot from cd/dvd.
btw in order to boot from cd/dvd you have to change settings in BIOS (Boot Priority) , i think default key is delete or f2.

Okay I will try this, I'll put the hard drive back in the original computer and format it. Also on the new computer I have changed the settings in BIOS to boot from CD drive first, but it tells me the selected boot device not availble - strike F1 to retry boot, F2 for setup utility Press F5 to run onboard diagnostics. Not sure why it's saying this?
