If that being the case ... also make sure you have all your drivers handy... Windows 7 will try to find all drivers but sometimes it can't. If you don't have the drivers not to worry I will help you get them after. If you know how to get into the bios...choose run from your dvd rom having the Windows 7 in the rom drive. Let it run and install windows 7. If you dont want to do that you can also try this .... get Killdisk... its a hard drive eraser. You can get the DOS or USB verson and also run it from windows . After your hard drive is erased you can not get any info (Data) back if you use the pro verson. https://www.ecoustics.com/electronics/forum/computers/657093.html after the drive is erased put in your windows 7 in the dvd/cd rom reboot pc The windows 7 will start installing. if you need help let me know |
