Can not install windows on any partition + Bootmgr missing + DVD Drive Missing

Dell Inspiron 545s
Bios Phoenix A12 11/17/2009
2GB Ram
Intel Celeron CPU 450 @ 2.2Ghz
Was Running Window 7

not my first time reformatting
Installing from USB


Attmpted Reformat failed would not install on any partition.
so restarted computer and then it gave me a bootmgr missing error
I read online that i should wipe the hard drive with dban and try again
I got the same bootmgr missing error for dban

Tried a different ISO to USB program and dban was able to boot up
I ran Dban but it gave me 2 errors. at this point i didnt know what to do so i attempted to install windows again
windows installer booted up i chose the language and clicked next it then gave me a DVD driver missing error

I dont know what to do now .

I have never had this much trouble reinstalling windows.

After 3 days of working on this computer and attempting many diifferent things. i was finally able to install windows using a different .iso file. The only problem is i installed it in english but needed it in spanish... hopefully i wont ruin it while trying to change the language
