thanks for the reply but it wont go into bios all im getting is BOOTMGR is missing press ctrl+alt+del to restart

it wont boot all i get is “bootmgr is missing” even with the cd inside it

Can you ( not it ) go into Bios?

Startup and press F2 or Del, or whatever it says for "setup" on the screen.

No "i" cant go into bios as soon as it loads up i "del" it wont let me go into bios whereas it did before just goes straight onto "Bootmgr is missing" this is whats doing my head in

ive used hirens boot cd ran some diagnostics rebooted its letting me go into bios now so im getting somewhere
but in boot i have

boot priority order

1) usb optical drive *
2) internal optical drive
3) floppy disk drive
4) usb flash *
5) usb hard disk drive*
6) internal hard disk drive
7) network

If you have any external drives/devices connected - disconnect them.

Set the Hd you want to install on as the first boot device.

See if the installation continues.

If not,

Use the boot pop up menu selection on the startup screen ( e.g. press f11 or whatever for "boot menu" )

Arrow down to cdrom drive - put the dvd in , press enter.

It will probably ask to confirm - press enter again.

Hope it helps

i have no external devices connected are you on msn i think ive just deleted some raid settings in bios i have no idea about the bios settings please help me out

That is ok.

See if you can find the disk controller and set it to ATA - not AHCI.

You might just have donesomething like this :

Changed RAID ON to RAID AutoDetect / ATA

That should be fine.

Then try as per my previous post.

where would the disk controller be im looking in advanced cant seem to find it

Bios are not all the same - you just need to look for something similar.

Where you saw those Raid settings is probably it.

where the raid settings are i have

external drive boot:
network boot:

raid configuration:
