I have a Hp H8-1360t that previously had a 1tb hard drive. I took out this drive and installed a 64GB SSD to clean install windows on. I am using the official Windows 7 64bit ISO that I burnt onto a disk.
I took out my old HD, installed the new SSD, went into bios, and changed boot order to dvd. It loads up saying "Press any key to boot from CD/DVD Drive.." I dont get a chance to press a key before it skips that and goes to a black screen with a blinking underscore in the top left corner. My drive starts blinking at first but once it gets to the underscore screen, all goes quiet. Most I know get into the install before this happens. Im not even started on it.
What is going on/how can I fix it? Sorry if this is in the wrong place. Im not sure if this falls under hardware issues or software issues.
EDIT: I tried using an external dvd drive and it started the install. Seems to be my internal drive wouldnt work. Now Im getting a "CD/DVD drive device driver is missing" when I start the install.
Edit x2: Even though I downloaded the official iso, it appears to be somewhat corrupt and refuses to work on a usb so I am reburning it at a lower speed as well as redownloading it just in case.
