Product: hp 300-1025

I purchased this computer from someone knowing theres no operation system. I also purchased windows 7 operating system seperately.

When I turn computer on, its says no active partition found, press any key.

 

I tried the bios, and changing boot up to cd frive so it can read recovery disks as well as windows disk, but no success.

 

Any suggestions?

Hi,

 

Please also check: Is the HDD still there or the old owner pulled it out .

 

Regards.

I checked and there is a hdd. I ran a diagnostic test, and an error came up while checking the hard drive.
