MY SELF BUILD RIG:
X58A-UD5 V1 F1 / I7 930 / VELOCIRAPTOR 150 / HD 5770 MSI HAWK / H50 COOLING /PSU CORSAIR 750 / LITEON IHAS424 / WIN7 ULTIMATE ( NOT INSATLLED)(1 TB WD BLACK( NOT INSTALLED)
nEED HELP, I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO INSTALL MY OS, I KEEP GETTING THE MISSING BOOTMGR ERROR.
PUT TOGHETHER THE NEW RIG, FIRST BOOT.... LET IT RUN ALL THE WAY... GOT THAT MSG, DIDNT WORRY AS THE CD WAS EMPTY, IT WAS EXPECTED RIGHT?
RESET, WENT INTO BIOS, 1ST BOOT DEVICE, DVD, THEN HDD. PUT WIN 7 CD IN, RESET...GOT THE MISSING BOOTMGR PRESS CNTRL-ALT-DEL TO RESTART.
I DISCONECTED THE 2ND HDD, THE FRONT PANEL E-SATA, DISABLED THEM IN BIOS, LEFT THE ONE DRIVE (VELOC) & THE DVD ACTIVE... SAME THING...
i HAVE PREVIOUSLY CHECKED THE INTEGRITY OF THE HD WITH THE WD TOOL, SO ITS SUPPOSED TO BE OK.SO IM THINKINK MAYBE BECAUSE IT WAS FORMATTED ON AN XP MACHNE... MAYBE I CREATED A PARTITION & THATS THE PROBLEM, BUT GOOGLING IT... IT SHOULD AT LEAST GIVE ME THE INSTALLATION SCREEN FOR WIN 7 RIGHT?....
COULD IT BE THAT THE DVD CANT READ THE WIN 7 INST CD?..OR..
I LEFT THE FIRST BOOT RUN ALL THE WAY & SOMEHOW THE ERROR MSG GOT EMBEDDED?
DO I NEED TO FLASH BIOS ( VERSION F1 IS QUITE OLD I IMAGINE )...
plEASE HELP MY FIRST BUILD & I AM AT A LOSS....
