I have installed windows for two computers before, but it was never the very first time windows was setup on it.
Basically this is what I get:
Loading FreeDOS 123 - InitDisk
(states the version and something about copyright)
Current date is Tue 01-18-2011 (Which I've entered before)
Enter new date (mm-dd-[cc]yy): (I press enter)
Current time is 7:23:16.18 pm (Which I've entered before)
Enter new time: (I press enter)
C:>
So now what?
I put the windows setup CD in the PC but it won't run it. I try restarting, but the same messages are repeated.
Let me also point out that I have three CDs:
1-A setup Cd that I found with the PC's manual.
2-An OEM perinstallation Kit CD
3-A Microsoft Windows CD
The last two came in the same pack, and I think its a gift with the PC.
It's a Lenovo laptop and I'm trying to install windows 7 from any of the three CDs.
Additional Details
I don't have the CD in the boot option menu. there are:
SATA HDD
SATA ODD
Network Boot
I tried booting from the three but it doesn't boot from the CD
