you are not booting to that drive, your bios is looking at a drive and saying theres nothing here, so your bios is looking for a HDD/SSD so its either unplugged or its set up to the wrong drive as primary, wheres you need to set it to the flash drive instead  can you not press "del" and get into bios or try tapping "F8" i think it is to access the flash drive from the boot menu

i tried del and the statement repeated itself. same with f8. i tried with the hdd in 2 of the 4 sata ports and it changed nothing. nothing in the manual explains what to do

[Muffinmaddness]

no, you have to tap del asoon as the pc turns on

tap "del" assoon as you turn the pc on, but if your just installing the OS from the flash drive, just tap F8 as soon as the pc starts i think thats the boot select menu then select your flash drive

ok so should i tap it while the computer is turning on? cause most of the time

the boot screen doesn't even appear?

yup press power then mash f8 , it has to have posted to get to reading the HDD as its one of the last things it does to check for an OS to boot to

so i did that and a mouse comes up but its just a black screen no bios, any ideas?

 

[B52man]

f8 isn't even one of the listed buttons to press but it works. when i do del the mouse is stuck

[Muffinmaddness]

oh my bad might be f12 for your board, turn computer off and try it again pressing f12 you are looking for something like this 

 

[Muffinmaddness]

f8 isn't even one of the listed buttons to press but it works. when i do del the mouse is stuck

sorry had to email myself pics from my phone

[Muffinmaddness]

sorry had to email myself pics from my phone

no worries

 

ok lets start again, what are you pressing to get to the screen with the mouse?

 

and when it get to the "select proper boot device" youve missed the time window which to put in a command like "del" or F12" 

 

so start again turn of computer, and tap "del" on the numberpad on the right side of your keyboard on the bottom row, tap that before you turn on the PC and keep tapping untill you get taken to a different screen, when youve done that message back and tell me what is on the screen ( if anything) 

[B52man]

it doesn't let me do anything with the bottom right num pad del. it won't repeat the boot message or take me to a different screen like the others will.

[B52man]

no worries

[Muffinmaddness]

is the numpad turned on? usually a light showing its on or press the Numlock key at the top of the pad, or try the del on the next cluster of keys near the "home and the End" keys

ok so we have trouble getting to the bios, cuz the mouse is freezing ,. 

 

ok for a start lets reset your bios, 

 

 

 

where iv circled is your battery, take it out, ( make sure PC is off and unplugged or press the switch at the back) leave it out count to 30, then put it back in, turn the powerswitch at the back/plug the power cord in then turn the computer on, then tap "del" again keep tapping and wait 30- 60 seconds if nothing shows up, we have a problem, if it does post back here either way and tell me what you see
