Install CD won't boot from cdrom drive

Hello
You are right.Your going to need to put a operating system on your new drive.All new drives come blank or clean.
Just put in a windows disc and boot from your cd or dvd and follow instructions.

Hi, looks like you will need to format your hard drive and reinstall windows. Normal 0 MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman";} To install new version of XP. Insert XP CD into drive, reboot pc pressing F1 button.. This takes you into BIOS, change your primary boot device to CDrom, save changes and reboot. Select boot from CD once this appears and wait for files to be installed. Select the part of the hard drive you wish to use for your operating system (usually the largest) and select partition this drive. Delete any previous os, and reformat hard drive. (Be aware this removes everything saved on your hard drive, so always back up first) Re boot afterwards and reinstall operating system.
Hope this helps

1. First format all the other partitions in your system except the Drive in which the OS is installed.
2. Most probably the OS drive is C: Drive.
3. Then get an operating system CD/DVD Windows XP/Windows Vista/Windows 7
4. Then on start up insert the OS cd and select the option to install the OS.
5. When you click next there will be an option to specify the Drive in which you will be installing the OS.
6. Select the Drive in which the previous OS had been installed.
7. Now in the next stage there will be option whether to install the OS with or without formatting Drive.
8. Select the Format Drive Option and click Next.
9. Congratulations you have formatted all the partitions in your System/Laptop/PC

I suggest booting from a bootable cdrom disk, instead of a floppy disk, USB drive, etc. Everything except the cdrom can quite easily become infected with a virus just by plugging it into the computer. You MUST create the bootable cdrom from a KNOWN clean computer! If you try to create one from the infected system, you can almost be assured you will only create an infected cdrom!

If you don't have a way of creating a bootable cdrom, try booting your system from your Windows installation cd / dvd. Do a complete format before the install and then SHUT DOWN the computer! Do NOT just reboot and continue with the installation of the OS. Viruses are "memory resident" in that they load themselves up into RAM when the computer boots and will remain there until the machine does a complete shut down. I recommend you shutdown (i.e., turn off the computer) and restart the machine a couple of times AFTER doing the format to be assured that the virus is eradicated.

Once you are satisfied the virus no longer exists, you can go ahead with a new install of the OS. The FIRST thing to do before loading ANY of your personal files back onto the computer is to install a virus scanning software -- and make sure it is active and the virus pattern files are current. After scanning the hard drive for problems and finding none, can you go ahead with the installation / restore of your personal files.

Chances are pretty good that the reason the computer runs OK for a couple of days and then the virus reappears is that a file you have installed or copied over from your backup is infected. Each time you launch the program / file, the virus gets installed and the cycle starts again.

Hard drive has bad sectors on it which is why its giving you that message even though you can go thru the restore. Normally going thru the system cd and then the recovery cd should bring you into windows with the device drivers installed.

press DEL key as soon as the PC is booting. it will enter BIOS, find "Boot priority" and change the "First Boot Device" to CDROM. then save and exit.

If you are installing Windows, watch out for the message "Press any key to boot from CD....." then follow on-screen instructions.

If you are installing Linux, it will boot to CD drive when it found the Linux boot CD.

You need the BOOT selection option and then pint it to the cdrom drive that has your windows in it and take it from there

pls get ur cdrom service & try again but prior to that pls check ur data cable which is connected to ur pc
