Installation Stuck At Press Any Key To Boot From Cd Or Dvd
Nov 30, 2009
i was trying to upgrade my windows7 from 32 bit to 64 bit. i downloaded the ISO image and burned it to DVD by right clicking on the iso file, then open with, then widows disc image burner. now when i try to boot with the DVD and i get the "press any key to boot from cd or dvd" message with a black background. but if i press keys nothing happens and it remains same forever. why it doesnt proceed further ? what to do?
alternatively, i tried pressing F11 during restarting, then selecting cd or dvd for booting and hiting enter, but then also it takes me to the black screen with the "press any key to boot from cd or dvd" message and blinking cursor, if i press keys nothing happens !
I am experiencing a big problem in installing any operating system on my computer, it doesn't ask me to "Press any key to boot from CD" and it directly shows as it is installing the software but after completing the installation it reboots and again re-starts installation.
I want to reinstall windows 7 again, but for some reason this time, it doesn't show the Press any key to start installation. I went to BIOS and CDROM is set to boot first. I also put in the disk in and it runs normally from desktop. The CD is a little scratched, but I don't think that is the problem. The reason I want to boot from startup is so i can format to delete everything and clean install, or is there an alternative?Windows 7 Home premium 64 bitp5n-t deluxenvidia geforce 8800 gts 512
when I turn on my pc I get the follolwing error message "Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key".
Just as the title suggests. After i press restart, it's stuck at "shutting down" for about 10 minutes (looks idle), and then there's a momentary BSOD and a restart. After it restarts, it gives me the option to start windows normally or in a safe mode.My OS is Windows 7 64 bit.Quad core 2.5GHZGforce 560 2GB4 GB RAM
So I built a new system, and created a bootable USB with Win7 on it, I've tested it on my previous comp to make sure it is bootable.I plug it into my USB slot (tried both USB 2 and 3 slots) and set the bios (F15) to boot from what it reads as a Generic Storage Device 0204.I reboot and then see "Press any key to boot from USB..." <-- 3 dots which immediately (<1sec) changes to 4 dots. And then the system hangs. Num and CAPS are both lit up, and cannot be turned off. Nothing else does anything.While I'm in the BIOS, the keyboard functions just fine. It's a USB keyboard plugged into a USB 2.0 slot (but also didnt work when plugged into a USB 3)
When it crashes the cursor still moves and sometimes I can move windows around but then it all shuts down and sometimes briefly shows a blue screen of death. On reboot I sometimes get this message and have to reboot again. "Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key"It's a brand new box just built last week but no warranty and I would not even know what part to replace if it's hardware related.I've attached a Hijackthis to the post if it helps but I don't think it's virus related at all.
When left alone..."Reboot and select proper boot device or Insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key"I have a new(ish) cpu that I bought last Christmas, it works great and it has not crashed on me whenever I am using it. However, when I leave it on overnight (usually when it is downloading something big), when I wake up in the morning I am greeted with a black screen with the words:"Reboot and select proper boot device or Insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key"When this happens I simply press the power button a few seconds to turn it off, then turn it on again and it boots normally. (pressing a key only results in the message being repeated)What infuriates me is that it only ever happens when I leave it on overnight so I don't know when and how exactly it occurs but it almost always does. Like I said earler, it never does this when I am using it as it works fine otherwise. It just won't stay on overnight when I need it to.

I installed clean via USB flash this morning, Win 7 Ultimate.
Expanding files was stuck at 0% for a few minutes. So, I unplugged a single USB device and install proceeded. All readers take note of this SF learned 'fix'.
That is when I noticed that my DVD drive was spinning. I had neglected to remove the DVD after copying it to the thumb. I ejected the drive and the install interrupted.
Even though I specifically selected to boot from the thumb (via F8), I was indeed installing from the DVD. I did not recv the standard 'Press Any Key To Boot From CD/DVD'.
I am not willing to perform any tests on this at this time. A new clean install is likely in my near future as I continue to test VMs and other apps. But, I am curious. I will assume that I did not deviate from the process described above. I was neither tired nor stoned. I specifically selected to boot from the thumb.
Did Windows install see the DVD and make a jump from the thumb to the ODD?
I try to install Windows 7 on my system, but when i insert the dvd with the .ISO of windows 7 64-bit into my drive, i select boot from my DVD drive on start up, and the screen goes black, but nothing happens, and it starts my Windows XP.
Oh, and ive also re-burned the .ISO at the lowest speed, multiple times. No luck.
I have a raid (stripe) hard drive and it was working fine and i turned on my pc and it states floppy disk fail and when i press f1 it states boot up failure.I have tried all the recovery options and system recovery takes forever and does nothing and it does not even have my drive listed in the option box in system recovery so i dont know what to do i don't wanna loose my data.
I have ASUS PC (model: P5MG-ZX). I want to install windows 7. How to make a proper boot setup. I tried many times but failed to set my boot setup. I tried to install windows through USB but pc starts normally. It's not showing me the option "press any key to boot from CD/DVD".
I'm trying to install Win7 on my PC. I'm getting a black screen right before the language screen is suppose to be shown. This is happen right at the beginning : the white installation line is running in the bottom of the screen and then a Windows logo appear, right after that suppose to be the small window with the language selection, but instead , I see a black screen.
I CHANGED the cd's for couple of times, this is not the cd. I also copied the image to a flash drive and tried to install from there - Stuck exactly at the same phase.

Right, straight to the point. I've recently been given a few parts of computer from my friends that has now been assembled into a working desktop.I've got Windows 7 saved as a .iso file on a usb-hdd. I manage to get it working up to the point where i click "Install Now" on the Windows 7 installer programme, then after a couple mins of loading once clicked it comes up with this message."A required CD/DVD drive device is missing. if you have a driver floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive, please insert it now. Note: If the Windows installation media is in the CD/DVD drive, you can safely remove it for this step."There are 3 options that come up with this pop up being "browse" "ok" and "cancel" After clicking "ok" it comes up with another message saying"No device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click OK."
I'm trying to install Windows 7. I've tried a full format and once it saves files and reboots it doesn't continue further it just starts from the beginning again. The HD has come from another PC that was working. Where can I start?
I wanted to install windows 7 on my notebook compaq. When I finish most of the steps. The first windows welcome screen can not load and stops just blue screen.
I have a 2 year old Dell Desktop with Win 7 (64-bit). Recently, over the last 2 months or so, my PC refuses to boot correctly. As I press the Power button for booting up, the the monitor goes into standby mode and remains black / blank, while seemingly the desktop boots behind-the-scene. I get no error beep or message optherwise. If i keep on pressing the ESC key immediately after pressing the power button, after a while, it proceeds with the normal BIOS check and booting process. I'm flummoxed. This happens 90% of the time, but then again, not 100%. What does the ESC key have to do with correct booting procedure and how come this happening to me at this stage. No new hardware change has occurred.
i am a newbie as far as computer hardware is concerned. after struggling for days to install windows 7 onto my new pc which came without and 0s installed,[code] it list the 465 which i use for storage but the 30gb where the 0s is installed dosent show. surely if the hard drive had a problem the 465gb wouldnt show as it an te 30gb makes up te 500gb? i tried selecting the 465gb volume enter and then exiting diskpart then it says BOOT MGR IS MISSING PRESS CTRL +ALT+DEL TO RESTART..so basiclly i have read almost all forums concerning this and followed most of the steps listed above for however mine says boot manager missing or corrupt, wen ever i run start up repair its says start up repair cannot repair this computer automatically.
I just installed a new window 7 ultimate os to my 32 bit system and I doing something with my disk management. I actually delete the 21mb unallocate space in my disk management. After that I do some my work and browse the internet and shutdown the system but when I again starting my computer. It will nor work only a message appear on screen ...
Boot manager is missing .. Press cltr+altr+del to restart... Again and again only this message ...
I try to go boot manager by pressing f2 ,f12,f8 it it doesn't work, only pressing delete button it shows some options. It try to install a new os but it is not reading my cd/dvd or usb. When it check options it shown a massage that they are disable. Some stuff to enable my usb, dvd port or any way to start my system....
It really sucks because it's a driver that, when not installed, causes me to crash all the time! I've already tried disabling Windows Security Essentials' Real-Time Protection.
Okay so i have this machine, acer m3100, that originally had windows vista. I tried to do a clean install of windows 7, with an original windows 7 installation cd.Everything would go okay until right after the computer restarts and goes to the part of COMPLETING INSTALLATION. At that moment my screen suddenly flashes with the blue screen of death. i wasnt able to right the error that shows up though. Then the computer restarts and goes to setup devices and right after that an error message appears saying, windows did not complete installation, due to an unexpected restart, restart the computer and restart the installation. If i click okay it will go into an endless loop. Restarting one time after another. So i thought i would install windows vista again. Try to make things the way they were before, but i get the same error. i'm only able to install xp. With XP everything works fine. I do want to be able to install windows 7 though.
Well this computer is brand new its supposed to have windows 7 its a Eee PC. A message pops up saying The computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error. Windows installation cannot proceed. To install windows, click "OK" to restart the computer, and then restart the installation.as far as I know new programs were not added and the installation was completed the first time. I already tried safe mode but it does not allow me.
P.S. its the mini so it has no cd rom to insert the cd and it did not come with a cd.
i have toshiba satellite A205 win 7 its been freezing a lot lately i dont know why so i tried to install Windows 7 OS again (its not genuine) i usually do this successfully if i get virus but i dont think its virus this time but during the installation it got stuck it passes the copying windows file up to completing installation but it says it needs to be restarted and i did this several times it either hangs up or tells me cannot be installed restart.whenever i start all over again a black screen comes up with listing windows 7 several times asking me to select 1.i select the latest but same thing happens allover cannot access safe mode either i tried to install win 7 ultimate geniune but same thing happens.i also tried the repairing option its not working keeps telling me to restart..i believe its the hdd thats corrupted.i need to get my files.
I am trying to install Windows 7 through USB in my Dell studio 1555 Laptop. Every time it gets stuck at "setup is starting".I have already disabled all other boot options except USB. There is no floppy drive option.I have gone through more or less every post related to this problem , but the common solution that is to remove all the USB, Firewire etc. attachments. It does not work in my case as I am installing from USB.
I have an acer aspire desktop, which I recently restored, or attempted to anyway. It has become stuck on a screen saying 'software installation' then a loading bar with 'installing nvidia vga 3d vision above it. it has been like this for at least ten hours, and seems to have gotten nowhere. I tried turning it off, but it just resumes in the same place, anyone know anything?
Pretty much what happened is that my powersupply got messed up one day and just turned off my computer and I couldn't boot it back up. I ordered a new PSU and I installed it but now when I boot my computer I'm getting "Disk boot failure, insert system disk and press enter". I've tried putting in the installation disc and using the recovery options but my OS isn't listed/found and if I click load drivers I can clearly see both of my hard drives. I have already checked boot options as well. I was also using GRUB before this all happened as well because I installed ubuntu as a dualboot.
I have been getting problems when booting. Whenever I boot the windows startup animation stops until I press enter. Then it spots again for a couple minutes until I press enter. I tried clean boot and safe mode which did not help.
i got a prob with my Windows 7 after the installation n the first reboot,and Starting Up Services, it comes on Completing Installation screen when it ends, it doesnt reboot, neither turn off, it just stays on black screen for hours. with the computer working, and the mouses`s cursor moving.
Cant remember excactly the PC specs 2,6Ghz Intel CPU Nvidia GeForce 7800 or smthng 512mb 4GB ram 2x120GB WD HDz
