Step by step. I turn my comp on, put the cd in. It runs, says press R to see windows recovery options. I hit R and nothing happens.

Re: Not being able to install Windows. RAGE!
is the boot sequence set to boot from cd first ?
when the black screen first comes up and says "press any key to boot from cd " do you press a key and make it go through the set up ? as this should go through the set up and part of it will say there is already a windows installation on the c drive , click to do to next part and you should have an option to format the drive |
