Installing Windows on ASUS x73sv

Hello,
I bought an ASUS x73SV today with no OS:

ASUS
Intel® Core™ i7-2670QM Processor (6M Cache, 2.20 GHz), Sandy Bridge
8GB DDR3 RAM (1066 MHz)
640GB, S-ATA 5400 rpm
17.3" HD [LED] blizgus (1600 x 900) 16:9
6 celių Li-lon 5200mAh
NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M 1GB


And I have problem installing OS on it.. I have tried booting win7, win xp, win 98 from cd/dvd and nothing worked. I get error message "Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key". I set 1st bootable device CD-ROM, 2nd Hard Drive in BIOS and I don't know where the problem is.. I found Lindows CD and tried to boot OS from it and suddenly it worked but obviously I don't want Lindows OS on my laptop.

 

Lukas, try inserting the windows 7 DVD, then power on and press ESC key a few times till a menu comes up where you can select the optical drive. Also try the 7 DVD in another computer just to insure it is bootable if the ESC key work around fails.

 

I guess CDs are not bootable then because the same happens on other 2 PC/laptop. I have no idea how to make it bootable.

 

IF you are using the recovery DVD that should have come with the computer it only has factory drivers on it. You need to download and create a DVD to install win 7
This thread explains how to download and create a DVD to install win 7 http://forum.notebookreview.com/win...-7-download-links-just-like-vista-before.html
