My last computer completely crapped out so I built a whole new one, except i planned on using the old hard drives. When I tried to boot up the new computer it asked me to repair windows or start normally. I expected this, and choosing either option results in failure. I downloaded Dban to a usb and zeroed out the drive which had the windows 7 install.
I am trying to reinstall windows 7 on the wiped drive but the computer cycles through the boot devices (I can hear the dvd drive revving up) and then goes straight to the bios.
The windows 7 install cd works fine in my laptop, so I am not sure what the issue is. I suspect its the hard drive but i have tried booting with only each one installed and I still boot straight to the bios. I am thinking my only option to to either find another desktop to do a correct reformat or buy a new hard drive. Any ideas?
