cant install windows 7

[MadShadow]

Not yet, do you recommend i should try that?

Thats pretty much what most people do, so yes give it a shot. I believe its faster as well.

Worth a shot?

Wait... At the top of the last screenie it says 'Option ROM messages' which is set to Force Bios. Probably why it boots you into the bios every time?

What are the other options there?

Keep current is another option but it still does the same thing

Try it?

Does the same thing. Goes back to the bios menu

Does the same thing. Goes back to the bios menu

after you boot into the windows installation disk from bios, there will be a screen that tells you to "press any key" to install windows. Due to resolution problems, you may not see that, and after few seconfs it will go back to bios if no key is pressed. Try booting from the dvd again but this time as soon as you do, keep pressing space key on your keyboard

Have you tried installing windows from usb?
Heres a guide i made today if you dont know how

Also, have you tried changing the hard drive configuration from AHCI to IDE (if it's not already) ? I know someone outside of this forum that couldn't install windows without using "IDE" mode.

EDIT: tried pressing space too, same error occured

Ok, so i tried it again and this "error" popped up. Im now in the screen (last screenshot) and the options are: ¨


Boot device control: UEFI and Legazy OPROM or Legacy OPROM only or EUFI only

Boot from network devices: Legacy OPROM first or UEFI driver first or Ignore

Boot from storage devices: Both, Legacy OPROM first or Both, UEFI or Legacy OPROM first or UEFI driver first or Ignore

Boot from PCI-E/PCI Expansion devices: Legacy OPROM first or UEFI driver first

force bios option rom is just a thingy for the raid reporting.
basically it checks for raid connected to it and if it finds nothing it would just do nothing. but if you force bios on it, it would say something like "no drive installed"

and i would stick usb boot drive to legacy.

Okay, so i tried with my brothers windows 8 (which i cannot use, because he will be using it) and it works fine, so i guess in must be my copy of windows 7...

 

[YouWhat]

Its not the copy of windows 7, its the bios settings, turn off UEFI, or in boot options select the drive with windows 7 on it without the UEFI infront of it.

Windows 7 doesn't like it, Windows 8 does.
