How do i fix reboot and select proper boot device

[TechMuncher]

Im having problems with my new pc, i just finished building it 2 days ago but i seem to be experiencing the same problem everytime i turn it on (Reboot and Select Proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot Device and press a key) i have already tried 1. fixing all the connections.
2.Entering my bios and setting up my Boot priorities to my drive with Os in it. The computer wont read my windows 7 as this might be that its not an authentic copy and i dont kno what to do but, i wanna play on my new build HELP!!!

I have heard that some times it won't load due to it being pirated, but if it is, we can't help you.

What makes you think it is not an authentic copy?

 

[Bossyfins]

That is what I am asking. Is it authentic?

 

[BadAsAl]

Sorry Bossyfins, not directed at you... the OP said it might be that it's not authentic. I am trying to figure out if he knows it is not authentic, in which case, no help from me!

Anyone can download a copy of Windows 7 and burn it to DVD or USB as long as it is a genuine image from Microsoft. If you have a legal license and key and are not planning to crack the software after you install, then you are okay.

When you said you built the PC, did you just install Windows or did you load a bunch of stuff on there already? In other words, can you just redo the install or do you need to do a repair install that keeps all your stuff?

BadAsAl, I dont know much about the Disc's origin but i do have a valid Product Key. All the items in the Pc are New.

Then you are okay and we can help.
Boot to the install media again, and instead of Install Now, try "repair your computer" and see if it finds your Windows installation. If it does, let it try and repair it.

As long as you can boot to the DVD, you can follow this guide: http://getintopc.com/tutorials/how-to-install-windows-7-step-by-step-method-for-beginners/

The image in step 2 is where you can choose to Repair your computer.

Or you can just do a clean install, by selecting "Install now" at step 2. If you get a list of Windows versions, you need to select the one that matches your key. If your key is for Windows 7 Home Premium, then choose that one. If an x86 or x64 version is a choice, you probably want the x64 version.
When you get to step 3 you select Custom install.
Then you will probably see what is in step 5, just select each one and hit delete until you end up with all unallocated space, as step 4 shows.
After your screen looks just like step 4, just hit next and follow the prompts. I never create my own partitions, I realize it says to in step 5, but it is unnecessary. The install will take care of that. Just follow the prompts and hopefully it will install ok.

Is your BIOS set to to boot from CD/DVD? You should also be able to hit a function key when it first boots to get to a boot menu to select your CD/DVD drive. On mine it is F12 but could be different for you.
