Need help installing fresh windows.

[DaviidJH]

Upgrading my PC put brand new pieces in no second hand stuff, PSU, MOBO, RAM, CPU, HDD i have been trying to install windows i have got it on CD & Pen drive changing boot options in BIOS to boot from which ever one i was trying at the time, disabling all others as well when i save and restart it just reboots and goes straight back to bios, not too sure what going wrong i have done this once or twice before I'm not the best with computer but i know the basics, when i did this the first time on my old HDD it was simple the mobo picked up the disk straight away and i began the windows install but doesn't seem to be having any of it, its been rattling my brains for past few hours! 

PLEASE HELP IF ANYBODY HAS ANY ADVISE / TIPS.

What motherboard do you have?  I'm asking because some use F8 to open the boot device selection menu, others use F11 or F12, etc etc.

Using a USB drive to install windows, i have managed to finally get bast the bios and start the installation although im greeted with this god awful window with the  A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing" or "A media driver your computer needs is missing" 

 

Anybody know how i can get past this, i have tried every single USB slot in the computer but no good when i press browse all i see is "Cd drive (D:)" and "boot (x:) 

appreciate any help i can get, ive been battling with this trying to get an OS on it for hours now!

Press shift +f10 to bring up the console

type

 

Diskpart 

List disk 

Select disk 2 

Clean
(using Clean command in diskpart will delete all partitions on the selected disk) 

Exit
(exit from Diskpart) 


CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY

SELECT PARTITION 1

ACTIVE

FORMAT FS=NTFS

LABEL="Windows"

ASSIGN LETTER=C

EXIT

EXIT

 

Basically you want to wipe the main disc you selected, create a partition, format it as NTFS, then assign a letter and name

ur ISO might be bad, did you load windows onto the USB yourself? if so try doing that again.

[DaviidJH]

i used the windows 7 usb tool to do it everything seemed to have worked fine there like what if i tried different windows or will your solution work @Aytex

Had that problem too a while ago whilst installing Windows on a laptop.  Unplugging the DVD reader solved it for me.  Plugged it back in once the install was completed and the PC booted to desktop, and all was fine.
