new HDD install , boot mngr is missing, no

[dainova]

Hi, I replaced hdd and trying to install W7 from retail version on DVD, it's Lenovo T510.
And I can do this, first I have

Bootmgr

is missing ...
Then if I go to DVD I have

A required CD/DVD driver is missing

I was able to use same DVD on other T410 installation np, this given T510 before has valid w7 64 running on old HDD, I don't have anything usb plugged in, all USB on this are USB2 I think.

Surely I'v checked all googles, and none of them worked for my case, I think I need to create boot parition first ?
this is how my hdd looks like, I have only one partition?

I also start workin on USB boot with Rufus, In boot order I see [/code]]1: --USB HDD[/code] not sure why it's with Minus? is is active in this state ?

The boot partition is created when you first format the disk and install Windows, assuming you let Windows create the partitions and do not do it yourself.

What's the actual issue you are getting here?
Is won't boot after an install, or Windows can't see the HDD?

It bood from DVD, then have A required CD/DVD driver is missing message,,

Seems like it can't boot from the CD for some reason. Is it an upgrade CD?
Is it scratched?

DVD is OK, It started, loaded files, then this msg "missing driver". this is retail clean iso for W7 install

You are using an external USB CD rom? That's an unusual message, missing driver.

I'm trying now usb, I can't boot from it, even it's in boot menu but I can start install from usb

So what I did, boot from DVD< then inserted USB, and started install from USB, then just need to catch a moment to take it out after copying all files, so during service reboot it won't hand on this USB, which is flashing but not booting (it produced just cursor blinking on the top left of lcd).

Oh, that's why. Just create a bootable USB drive, or use the CD. Don't do both. And don't try to install Windows on a USB drive?

I'm confused why a USB drive is involved here.
