Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

I want to boot from a USB stick with MS Win 7 on it. Screen shows the following message:

 

Initializing Intel (R) Boot Agent GE v1.3.76

PXE 2.1 Build 090 (WfM 2.0)

 

It does show a cursor beneath, but does not react to anything. I cannot enter the BIOS. 

 

Also when starting the computer and hitting F10 (or any other F key or Esc, del) I cannot enter the BIOS and the boot agent message above shows up again.

 

I do not have an OS on this machine anymore after the HD died and want to boot via that USB stick. Going crazy over this.......

As you have stated that you are unable to install the operating system on this computer.

 

I would suggest you perform cloud recovery.
