Hi guys,
New user here looking for some help. I am helping a friend install windows 7 (OEM) onto his Dell Dimension E310. Here are some specs:
Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005
Dell System DV051
BIOS Version: A03
Service Tag: DGL9K91
Intel P4 2.8 GHz
2 GB Ram
2 SATA 80 GB HDD's
DVD +/- RW (IDE)
The problem I'm having is that I cannot boot from an Windows 7 DVD (tried 3-4 now, all burned, but images of legit copies). I've looked on forums for a solution and have been on the phone with Dell tech support for a couple hours. Dell wont help me without me buying a new warranty.
I have checked the jumper setting on the DVD drive and made sure it's on master. I'm not sure what else to do. I cannot get back into windows because I have turned on the RAID manager (in which I confirmed erasing all data on the hard drives, thinking I was going to be able to reinstall anyways). I know others have had this problem, please help me find a solution.
