Hello, i have strange problem.... All my years building ,fixing common pc problems this was easy step for me, but now i cant Reinstall windows 7... sounds funny but i cant.


My motherboard is " Z97 GAMING 3 " 
I have Windows 7 Working Installation disk.

but i dont know what to do next? My old motherboard was like that, i pressed F2 and i entered the black screen where i can choose CD/DVD RW

on Z97 GAMING 3 i have only 

DEL - Bios
F11 - Boot menu which DOEST WORK, i choose CD/DVD pressed enter , and nothing Windows just starts normaly booting up.

Alright, but how then, i can reinstall windowss??? Fresh windows??

I cant seem to get that black screen where is  "Loading WIndows Files"  

 

 

Set you DVD/CD as first option and your HDD as 2nd option and try then.

So i tryed   Boot Options 1 :  CD/DVD Drive 

             Boot Options 2:  SATA HardDrive

 

Saved Changes,  Reeboot,     Pressed  F11 ,   (opened Boot Menu)  i selected  CD/DVD  and nothing Windows just  Started normal, like ignoring the CD/DVD

 

I just insert disc and looked in Computer,  there is  DVD RW Drive E: Windows7 and  Windows Disc Logo, when i trying to run  Setup,exe from  Windows right now

i can, but its not allow me to Format my  C: Drive  and D:  Drive,  and its telling me to  restart installation disc or something like that, i guess he wants do it from Start of Boot when my old windows is not running in background. 

 

 I just dont understand this Motherboard  (Z97 GAMING 3) 

i spent 2hours trying installing damn  WIndows 7,   Nothing.
