HP 630: Full disk format & Clean installation of Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.

[vikrant28]

I am already running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit OS in my HP 630 system (2 GB RAM, 320 GB  Hard disk).

I want to do a full format of the entire disk & clean install a new copy of Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit OS. When I restart the system with CD in the ROM already, it is not showing any option to start the system from CD (boot from CD). I changed the order of boot devices in BIOS & set CD as first option, still it is not showing me the option to boot from CD. Please suggest me how to go forth with full format of the disk.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Try the following.

Remove the Windows 7 installation disc and Shutdown the notebook,

Tap away at the esc key as soon as you start the notebook launch the Start-up Menu and then insert the Windows 7 nstallation disc.  Select Boot options ( usually f9 ), use the arrow keys to select the CD/DVD drive and hit enter.  You may also get a prompt to 'Press any key to continue' - do this if asked.
