: Code.Illusionist November 26, 2014, 09:26:31 PM
I have no os in my pc, so i set boot to cd dvd, and entered dvd disk. Problem is that it wont boot. i am not familiar with this new bios.

Quick workaround would be to boot a late linux live cd and use grub to stage to windows.

I just installed Windows Vista and after that Windows 7. Everything works perfect now, thanks anyway.

EDIT: Before vista I did installed Linux UBUNTU 10.10 but I couldn't install with that version Wine app, that's why I had to reinstall. xD

First you disable that UEFI bullshit and enable legacy boot method in the bios, then you can install.

When I go to boot, there is only UEFI alone and Legacy + UEFI. I set it later to second option and installed vista. And than i realized that my Win7 disk is not burned to be bootable when computer starts up, it only works inside OS.
