Hello,

This is the windows 7 installation dvd yes?

If you are after reinstalling windows, select custom install and then you should eventually be given the option to edit disk partitions, you can format there and reinstall windows afresh.

By reinstalling you will be losing anything you have stored such as documents, photos etc...

Let us know how it goes

You need to get you laptop booting from the installation disc.

You need to select the DVD drive from boot option menu by pressing a key as mentioned previously.

You could also change the boot order so your laptop attempts to boot from the DVD drive first.

Dont forget to press any key when it says to start booting from DVD.

P.S creating multiple discussions/threads about the same problem isnt really the way to go, stick with one.

there is no option on the boot page.how can i select dvd option when its not giving any option.dont know what to do?

[Xlphos]

As soon as the laptop starts, as in you switch it on press a certain key to select boot options, like it will say "Press F2 for boot menu" press this key and a menu will come up and you select DVD drive.

Do you have your latop model number? Perhaps we can find out which key you need to press.

After pressing the boot select button an menu like this will appear... Click Here select DVD/CD drive.

This will be before windows boot selection; where it asks you how you wish to start windows.
