Hi. Try to boot up the computer from your CD ROM then install windows. Make sure that the rescue disk is in the CD drive. Here's the procedure. Keep on tapping F12 key the moment you press the power button. You should be getting a boot menu after doing this. Select ODD/DVD rom drive inorder for the computer to boot up from your CD rom then follow the on screen instructions in installing windows.

Have a good one!

Acer Aspire 5315 Vista Windows boot problem

have you checked if your pc is compatible with win7? use this to check it: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/en-us/default.aspx
and if it is, try to do a clean install. boot from the cd. insert the disc. restart pc, as soon as it has power, press F12 several times and highlight cd/dvd drive or ODD using your arrow keys then press enter. it will load the cd from there. And that should work fine.

Ok, you deleted the boot record from your HDD, so it cannot boot now. You need to change the boot sequence to CD first, so you can install Windows from the CD. If the problems comes from the CD itself, maybe your disc is not bootable. Try another CD; if that fails, check your CD drive.
