Hello. Friend asked me to install windows 7 on his new notebook. He bought it without windows as he had one, but it had installed some kind of linux (Linpus lite LiveCD edition or something like that) It didn't run as intended(I believe, I don't know much about linux). It didn't have any kind of GUI, just console,terminal,cmd(name it as you want). I managed to erease HDD and make new partitions.

I have win7 on bootable usb, but when I put it in and start notebook it shows this - 

post-19661-0-34351200-1380816895_thumb.j and 

post-19661-0-24980300-1380816899_thumb.j afterwards. 

I have no idea what to do now. I have changed boot priority for usb over hdd in bios.

 

EDIT: I found out that when I ereased HDD I removed MBR and now I don't have OS and don't have MBR.

Have a look in the BIOS. It might have USB disabled as a boot medium.

Edit: Sorry, didn't see that you have already tried this.

It looks like I have deleted my MBR. I will try to fix it by making ubuntu live-usb and trying to restore it. 

 

EDIT: Didn't manage to get into ubuntu because of same reason.

I had a similar issue and it was a bad hard drive. Also go into BIOS and make sure that your hard drive is set as primary and that the SATA or IDE port is enabled.
