You’ve installed your new system and it’s working fine. You have an empty hard drive and a Windows 7 backup. Now you can proceed with installing or setting up the operating system as needed.
Host a celebration! Simply set up Windows 7 on the storage device...
What's going on? I'm not sure what you're asking. Can you clarify?
Someone might say your setup includes a DVD drive? If not, create an ISO from the disk and burn it onto a USB stick. Then configure the USB as the first boot device in your BIOS. For a brand new build, you won’t need to worry about wiping important files. If you have both SSD and HDD, you can safely disconnect the HDD during installation.
You don’t require any additional drives to connect for accessing BIOS settings. The POST display will indicate the keys you press to proceed, typically DEL or F2. Attempting to boot onto the incorrect drive often leads to a blue screen or continuous looping. It seems your boot sequence is likely incorrect, which explains the warning message. It appears your HDD is listed first, but without an operating system installed, it’s not recognized.
Google indicates the correct key is F2. I can't confirm it, my Asrock board is out of reach.
