Windows 7 install help

[xascent]

Trying to install windows 7 on my new hard drive since my old one died on me, i set it to boot from disc and it just loads up the cmd prompt. I'm sure i just have to enter a cmd but i can't seem to find anything that works. I've searched around of course but haven't had any luck so i give up, decided to ask for help. So any would be appreciated.

Could your install disk be corrupt? Also try setting your BIOS to default settings and try again.

Are you sure that you are booting from the CD? ensure that the correct boot order is set in the BIOS.

Yeah i'm sure my bios boot order is correct. Basically where the windows screen would normally pop up a cmd prompt pops up. The disc is messed up? There's no command to try and load the disc up from the prompt?

If the install disc is good and you get this problem then you have memory problems. Try running a memory test such as memtest86.
