1090t black series x6
ordered 2x 7870s (currently 1x 6950)
1x 1tb hdd (more on this later)
2x4g corsair vengeance 1600
asus m4a89gtd/ usb3 (with secondary operating system)
This is my first build, and although I built it almost a year ago, I have much to learn. When I was installing windows initially, I was using 2x 1tb hdds in raid 0. however, the installation failed multiple times, and since I had little experience with computers, I decided to forget about it. About 7 months ago, I sold my exra hdd to my friend, and found that it was not recognized as the "clean slate" I thought it was. We dban'd it, and all was good. I now have a 128gb ssd that i want to install (and my computer has been prone to freezing lately) so I now want to dban the current hdd and install windows to my ssd. Here is the catch, I no longer have my windows 7 cd. I still have the product keys, activation keys, etc. I talked to microsoft support and got the official .iso image. I burned both dban and windows to separate disks, and tried to boot to them. It says to insert proper media to boot from and to press any key, but fails to ever recognize the cd's. Microsoft also e-mailed me links to the files or something. My question is how to get my computer to boot from the disks, and how i can install windows if the disc is corrupted or fails to work. I appreciate your support and want to thank you for your help.
***UPDATE***
Dban now works!
