Install Windows on an Empty Hard Disk
Use this method to set up Windows on a brand-new, empty hard disk; if your
PC already has a Windows installation, even if it doesn’t support an in-place
upgrade, skip to the section “Upgrade from a Previous Version of Win-
dows” on page 18.
The Windows 7 installation disc is bootable, which means that you can pop
it in your drive, turn on the computer, and the installation process will start
automatically.
If your PC doesn’t boot off your setup disc, you’ll need to do one of the
following:
BIOS setup
Enter your BIOS setup utility (see Appendix A), navigate to the Boot sec-
tion, and change the boot device priority or boot sequence so that your
DVD drive appears before your hard disk. Save your changes and exit BIOS
setup when you’re finished.
Boot menu
Alternatively, some PCs provide a “boot menu” that lets you choose the
boot drive on the fly. Look for a message above or below the boot screen
right after you power on your PC; usually, all you do is press the F12 key—
before the beep; don’t dawdle—select your CD/DVD drive from a list,
and hit Enter.
When your PC detects a bootable disc, you’ll usually see this message for three
to four seconds:
Press any key to boot from CD or DVD . . .
Press a key on the keyboard, and in a few moments, setup should load normally
and display its Welcome screen. (See the section “Boot Without a Boot
Disc” on page 15 if you can’t boot off the Windows setup disc.)
On the first screen, click Next to display the Install Windows screen shown
Figure 1-1. From here, click Install now to proceed.
On the next page, setup asks for your product key, which you can read off the
DVD sleeve or the sticker on your PC case. Mercifully, Microsoft allows you
to skip this step—leave the field blank, click Next, and then answer No—so
you don’t have to waste time fishing around for the sticker and typing the
excruciating 25-digit key, only to have setup laugh at your propensity for typos.
This is a particularly useful time-saver if you’re only setting up a temporary
installation for software testing or data recovery.
