I have a Dell Vostro V13 laptop and I just bought a new internal hd for it. I installed the hard drive and have been trying to install Windows 7 on it to no avail. It doesn't have an internal CD Rom but it will not boot up from my external USB CD Rom. I went into the Bios and the options are Diskette Drive, Internal HDD, USB Storage Device, CD/DVD/CD-RW Drive, eSATA HDD, and Onboard NIC. I then created an ISO of my Windows 7 disc and put it on a USB drive. I went into the bios and selected the primary boot device as USB Storage Device. When it boots up, it just goes to a black screen with a blinking cursor.
I'm all out of ideas at this point. Can anyone help me out here?
Thanks in advance!
