Start up error

[toodabeans]

So recently an older HDD of mine died after sometime. I bought a new one and am having trouble getting the PC to notice my Windows disc inside. This is my first time ever downloading windows onto a drive. Not sure if it matter, but my Mobo is a MSI Gaming m5 Z170A and my CPU is a 6600k. I nearby tech place gave me a windows 10 CD since I had a registration key already. Whenever I turn the PC one with the disc, it takes me to a black screen and tells me to "Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key." Not sure what I'm supposed to do. I've changed my boot order so that the CD drive is 1st and I still get the same error. The HDD is fine, i had it checked out at a local computer repair shop. Any tips would be highly appreciated!

If you have UEFI (instead of BIOS), you have to disable "secure boot" before you can boot from a disc. It sounds like that may be what you need to do.

Good luck.

It seems that Secure boot is default on disabled with this board, as I hit f11 to go into my bios and found "Secure Boot Support" set to disabled already.

You may have to hit a key shortly after powering on. On my Dell laptop it's F12, but yours could be different.

Good luck.

Check in BIOS for boot order and see if your drive is showing up and if it is that it's the first choice

Both of the CD Drive and my HDD are showing up. When I pick my CD drive, it still gives me the screen.

do you have another computer? just make your own installer as maybe their disc is corrupt:

Win 10 media creation tool

I couldn't find anything of value in your manual: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/Z170A-GAMING-M5.html#down-manual

I have this shitty mac from 2007 but I don't think I can make it on here.

I may be able to get one tonight or tomorrow. What would I need to change my boot order to so that it would boot with the USB?

It should have a USB option, the manual isn't very clear about the options available

There is both UEFI USB Key and USB Key

So I made the USB Win10 download on an older XP PC. What should be my boot order now? I had the first as "hard drive" and I'm still getting the black screen saying "Reboot or select proper boot device or insert Boot Media Device in selected boot device and press a key" I know the PC is reading the USB because the light when data transfers is going off. The HDD isn't corrupted or anything, so I'm really lost :/

did u select uefi usb key as 1st device? it should boot into the installer, not to the blank screen you getting.

did you watch video? you can set the order the pc looks at devices if you go into the advanced boot menu

Oh thank you so damn much. You're a life savior. I have one more issue though. It's telling me I can't install Windows bc "We couldn't create a new partition or locate an existing one" What do I need to do?

did you try to do a custom install?
