hi,

first of all i know that this isnt new build but a lot more people check this section than windows 7. Heres my question... i just built a computer and i need to instal windows 7 64-bit oem. I got oem becasue people said that it would work the same. Do i just put the cd into the dvd drive to instal it or do i have to do all this other stuff before i do that.

You install it just like the retail version. Put it into the drive your on your way.

You should start your own topic and not try to piggy back some one else's but to answer your question i would guess that your bios needs changed to boot from the cd first then on to the hdd second. It keeps trying to boot from the hdd first that has an incomplete install.
