The reason I think it is a hardware or BIOs problem is that the CD drive won't even start reading the disc when it spins up so if it was a problem with the instal I think it would at least have to read the disc in order to have a problem with it.
The disc spins up but the processing light on the disc drive never lights up even once. This is the third PC I'm installing this on with the same disc and the first time I've ever seen this problem. I've tried inserting my Windows 7 disc into the drive and it shows the same problem, a black screen with no text, no prompts, no signs of any activity.
It is probably a fail drive then if it won't even read your Win 7 installation disc. As Seen On. Joined Aug 2, Messages Hey there, I'm helping a friend out with an older pc they just bought.
