Hi Gang hoping someone out there will be able to help me on this one. I have installed Windows 7 Home Edition 64bit on the wife's PC and created a back up on her D drive all OK so far, but when I tried to create a boot disc and repair DVD disc the OS did not recognise the CD/DVD's but does recognise a non existent floppy drive. I have gone into the BIOS and the two CD/DVD drives are also not on the BIOS. Can someone in simple terms tell me how to get the Bios and Windows 7 to recognise them so that I can make the E drive the first boot disc.
Sorry forgot to say what the spec for her PC is
Mother board: Fox Conn 945 7AD series
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.2ghz
RAM: 4 Gig
C drive: 1000gig
D drive: 500gig
OS: Windows 7 Home edition Service Pack 1
Sorry chaps but it has all gone tits up now all I get is the Foxconn splash screen the n the next screen and a message Boot Manager is missing. So cannot boot, I have tried to re install but will not boot from Windows installation disc any ideas
I have now disconected the hard drive and the CD drivees removed the battery for 30 seconds & placed it back,reconected the hard ware, fired it up all OK so far put the CD drive as the 1st boot drive in the BIOS and now reinstalling Windows 7 with a fresh install. Keep your fingers crossed I will let you know how I get on.
All OK now writing this on "she who must obeyed" PC. Would have never heard the end of it if I hadent got it fixed by the time she came home from work. Learnt my lesson and have backed it up and burnt a boot and repair disc
