Hi there. Try booting up and loading the bios. Check that it is sniffing around for usb sticks and DVD's etc by default before trying to boot from the hard drive. If the default is the hard drive you need to change the boot order to include the device ie DVD drive or USB stick etc. It sounds like that might not be the problem here but it is worth checking anyway. If you have a DVD drive in the PC try burning the iso onto it and booting from it instead and see what happens. Cheers Michael Fothergill > > Any help would be much appreciated. > > Thank you >
