Win 7 pro installed on hp touchsmart 320-1030, the machine cannot boot from installation DVD. Assist

[ Edited ]

I have installed Win 7 professional on hp touchsmart 320-1030 with an OEM DVD to overwrite Win 7 premium  preinstalled from factory.

I want to reboot the machine with the same DVD after completing the installation, to test for possibility of reimage in case of crash. Although in bios, I specify cd\dvd as firts boot media,  the machine cannot boot from installation DVD.  I have 20 machines that behave this way. Can anyone assist?

Note: I had to delete all partitions on the PC before doing a fresh installation of Win 7 pro as Premium can not joing domain.

Hello,

 

So, you installed Window 7 Pro with a DVD, you boot with it to install the O.S, and now it does not work?

 

Have you tried to load the BIOS default values or even updating the BIOS?

 

If it had work before, cant understand why it does not work now...

 

Let me know.

 

Thanks,
