Boot sequence missing,help!

[Timeblue]

I just tried swapping the hard drive to a bigger one and i noticed that there wasnt a boot from cd option,have i done changed the boot sequence by mistake?

You're going to need to elaborate here - what did you do? Swap out a secondary drive for a larger one? Swap out your main hard drive for a larger one?

If you put the windows DVD in then the PC will likely boot from that regardless - but there will be a boot from DVD option in your bios - is that where you are looking?

If you think you've changed the boot order, then have a look at this:

I got my machine (optimus vii) a fortnight ago and it came with a 120 ssd,I bought a 1tb ssd to replace it and after I had swapped it over,i noticed that there was no cd boot in the bios boot settings.

in the boot section I have -boot option 1 UEFI: IP4 realtek PCIe GBE family controller and boot option 2 UEFI: IP6 realtek PCIe GBE family controller with UEFI setting underneath.

Silly question alert - do you have a DVD drive?

I'd probably give PCS a call just now to discuss, is there not space for both SSD's in the laptop?

You need to disable uefi secure boot in the bios, then adjust the boot order.

I read the post a few times but not once did i see UEFI before each option. I'm going to get back in my box now

I do have a DVD drive installed,was thinking about not having one when ordering it in order to have two hard drives but decided I needed one....

Bingo! Just disabled it and installed win7 ok,thanks for the info. (If I could only get those drivers installed.....)

Nearly there,just can't seem to install the LAN driver....

Failing any other options, you should be able to download it from another device and transfer it over using a usb pen drive (or similar)

All the other drivers from the disc seemed to install ok,but the usb ports don't work tho...

Can't get usb,fingerprint and webcam drivers to load....

use drivers from clevo.com optimus vii model is n170rd ( i think)

i reinstalled my windows 10 on my optimus vii, but the pcs drivers were slightly older versons than from clevo website.

also, optimus vii laptop does not officially support windows 7.
