ok so i have a build computer by my dad , it is windows 7 home premium . i wanted to format the computer using the CD that i have which is GIGABYTE 6-quad/ S-series . Ok so i was playing around to see if it could load ( but nothing was loading until it came a point that when i try to start windows 7 it would not start. it would say at the bottom
AHC1 BIOS not installed and then it would SAY , DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER.
now when i insert the GIGABYTE(XPRESSRECOVERY2 disc) and it loads a bit then it say
IDE drive doesnt exist or all primary partitions are occupied. i dont know what to do , i did not install anything so why is the windows 7 not loading back up ? i must have pressed a few keys when it was working all well to get the cd to install ( f2 , f8 , f10 , ctrl + f10 i saw it as a post it said it can boot the cd.) <-- thats all i mostly did i dont know whats going on
here is my BIOS info
Integrated peripherals
- SATA RAID/AHCI MODE [ RAID]
SATA PORT0-3 NATIVE MODE [DESABLED]
ONBOARD SATA/IDE DEVICE ENABLE
ONBOARD SATA/IDE CTRL MODE[ AHC1]
AND LAST THING . i remember pressing F12 and going into Boot Menu and selecting HARD DRIVE --> now when i selected that i said - select a boot first device . From what i remember there were 2 choices . now that windows 7 wont start up is only one choice which is Bootable Add-in Card <<--- that is the only choice i can select . and i remember selecting something from these 2 choices. NOW WHEN I SELECT BOOTABLE ADD-IN CARD it says disk boot failure, insert system disc and press enter :/// please help
