Hello, i recently got an new (old) computer, which was formatted and the HDD has nothing on it.
when i boot it up, i get the "Reboot and select proper boot device" message, which is understandable, as i dont have an OS. however, i tried to install windows with a disc, but got the same result. as i dont have an USB drive, i decided to try to Extract the windows 10 ISO-File straight to the hdd of the PC with my other PC. it still shows the same error message.
I have checked all loose connections and boot order. when i boot with the HDD with the windows 10-ISO file extracted, it still just gives the error message.
It might also be that im missing something or extracted the iso-file wrong, or something else, im not very experienced when it comes to installing OS. A Step-by-step guide for installing OS by extracting the files straight to the HDD with another computer would be nice. i believe im doing something wrong, but not sure though. just in case you need them, here are the specs of the PC i have:
CPU: Intel core 2 duo e8400 3.00GHZ
GPU: amd radeon r7 240
MoBo: ASUS P5KPL-AM
RAM: DDR2 dual-channel 667mhz 2gb.
HDD: Samsung HD161HJ 7200rpm
PSU: 400w
