Hello everyone, I own a Samsung laptop (NP350V4C-S01), I recently bought a new HDD for it because last one had a mechanical failure.
New HDD's reference is HTS541010A9E662, 1TB, 5400 rpm.
My problem is that when I tried to install Windows 8 on that disk using a booteable flash drive, my laptop doesn't start:
It shows Samsung logo, and after that the screen goes black, although you can notice that is on.
Now, I changed the boot priority to use a booteable flash drive, a Dvd, the new HDD, nothing seems to work, although I know HDD won't start since hasn't an OS installed on it.
So I used F10 to enter booting menu and choosed USB from there, by doing that I was able to launch Windows 8 installation, and everything was going just fine until laptop had to do a reboot in order to continue the instalation process, then same issue than before: Samsung logo appears, but nothing after that, just a black screen and a lot of HDD reading sound.
I'm completely lost here, I will apreciate any help you can give me, and I will like to apologize for my bad english in advance, It's 5:45 am here and I haven't sleep at all pulling my hair off trying to solve this without any success.
PS. I've also tried installing Windows 7 and same thing happened, everything working great until the system had to reboot.
