posted by Tricky Nikki on Jun 16, 2008


my old hard drive on my emachine fried, due to electrical storm, so i went and bought a new western digital hard drive and took the old one out of it and installed the new one. it's an 80 gb hd western digital. the computer won't boot to nothing but bios. i have the emachine recovery cd and operating system on the cd too. it won't boot into the boot method to install windows,, it just keeps going into the bios. when i exit the bios, it say turn off power and reinstall the jumper in normal mode.
I hit the r key when it boots up,, and sometimes it will say mouse not detected. and sometimes it will just boot into bios. what can i do to fix this problem.? it's an emachine T3830

Go inside to your BIOS menu then set the BOOT sequence to CD as the first boot so when your PC with the operating system installation disk inside it will load the installation wizard.
Good luck hope that helps........
