My Laptop wont boot.

[Saint Michael]

Okay my brother is in the army and left his pc here with me to reinstall a copy of Win 7, When he left (Sadly to Afghanistan) i tried to reboot it with my win 7 disk in it. The power came on but it never came to an install screen. I didn't get splash screen or anything, Could you guys please help.

did you made the cd?

[Saint Michael]

Yes, previously installed on 4 different computers.

Was his compute able to boot before you tried the disc?

[Saint Michael]

I believe so, but before he left he had a new hard drive installed. Could that make a difference?

do you have access to your pc's bios?

No, not with the new one, im going to put the old one in and see what happens.

Hm. It sounds like you have a problem with your BIOS. I had this problem quite recently. I had to go download an up-to-date BIOS for my system on a thumbdrive, and...

crap I can't really remember, but when I started it I think I had to hold alt and the power button or esc and the power button to make it install from thumbdrive.

If you can remember please tell me i want to know how.
