[sleepingciv]

hope this is the correct section


presario f700

new hd so there is nothing in it.

i put in the vista disk and nothing happens just says no os found.

so i changed the boot order. so now the dvd.cd rom is at the top of the list, press f10 to save changes.
the computer restarts and goes back to the screen that says no os found.

so i restart the computer press f9 for boot order and its showing notebook hd.
so im not sure whats going on with this.

tell about the vista disk, is it a fullversion or upgrade version, is it from another computer or did it come with that computer? Is it a copy or burnt disk

its a real copy of it

it did not come with this comoputer

Try your Vista disc in another PC to be certain it is OK.
Try another bootable disc in your PC.

Was the optiarc optical disc not listed as one of the options in the F9 boot options?

[sleepingciv]

I think the dvd/cd rom is bad. gonna try another drive.

the vista disk is good though
