Hi Friends,

I have been using a Windows 7 installed PC till I face an issue on my MOBO(M5A97 EVO R2.0). I have repaired the Motherboard from ASUS SERVICE CENTER. When i tried to reassemble the PC and switch on, i'm facing a new problem that my windows installed HDD is not detecting in the BIOS.
When i connect an USB, i can see both the USB and HDD are available, but yet not able to boot from it.
Is there a way I can save and boot windows from the USB, Format and Install windows to my HDD through my USB..?

You can install windows on your USB and clean install, formatting your HDD. Download your ISO (google for it), make a bootable USB: http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/html/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool
Once done, insert it into a USB 2.0 port, then boot from USB. BIOS>ADVANCED>BOOT>Boot override and select your USB. Then it will take your through windows installation. Delete any partitions in your HDD (Windows will automatically make them when installing) then go through the installation process...
