My PC takes a VERY long time to initialise the OS install (15 minutes).
After the "select language and keyboard type screen" I get the message
"Windows cannot be installed to this disk. This computer's hardware may not support booting to the disk. Ensure that the disks controller is enabled in the computer's bios"
What does that mean? I cleared the CMOS before trying to install. I set CDROM as the first boot device and the hard disk as the 2nd.
On the screen where you can select the partition, drive etc for the install, 'format', 'extend', 'delete' are unclickable. No drives were found. Click "Load Driver to provide a mass storage driver for installation."
When I put the mobo's Cd in (with drivers etc) it says
"No signed device drivers were found make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers and click okay."
Am I missing a setting in the BIOS?
Thanks
