Windows 7

[jgoodway]

Hi im trying to install windows 7 64bit onto a system that i have built, however it wont even start, the furthest i have got is that it says boot from cd/dvd and it then says disk boot failure, insert disk and press enter.
PLEASE HELP!!!

Are you pressing a key when asked?
Is it genuine MS software or a burnt ISO?
Is the DVD drive being recognised in the BIOS?

I had to use an external DVD reader on one of my PCs because the internal drive wouldn't read the genuine Windows 7 disc.



(bought 3 copies for 3 machines, the one with the newest drive didn't work )
