Windows 7 won't recognise HDD

BennettWHU · 21 Jun 2012 at 13:04

I've just finished building my new system. I'm trying to install Windows 7 onto a HDD I bought from eBay. The HDD has been formatted. The only problem is, I don't know how to get into the BIOS. If I load the PC without the OS disc in, it just says "reboot and press any key or insert media disc and press any key". When I come to the point of selecting a HDD it tells me it can't find one and something about not having drivers?

HELP!

The mobo manual will tell you how to get into the BIOS. You should see "Press the "X" key to enter BIOS/setup".

Everytime I boot up, nothing comes up, no ASUS logo's. Just a option telling me to reboot or insert media disc.

Tell us which motherboard you've got.

Probably need to press the DEL(Delete) key, or perhaps Escape or F2
