Used a Dell Reinstallation Windows 7 Disc on new built computer problems

[Chisaki]

So I recently built a brand new computer from scratch. Instead of going out to get a new OEM copy of Windows 7, I installed Windows 7 using a Dell Reinstallion Disc. Everything worked fine at first, installed Windows 7 onto my SSD, the computer was up and running, I just had to install the drivers for everything. I installed 3-4 drivers without any problems, but after installing my Nvidia drivers and rebooted, my computer failed to boot up, giving me the 0xc000000e error (The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible.) I did what it told me to do (Insert your Windows installation disc and restart your computer) only to get the same screen. It says I can push "Enter=Continue" and "ESC=Exit" but my keyboard has no connectivity. So what I want to know is if I go out and get a brand new Windows 7 Disc and start my computer with that will it fix it all?

Most likely would fix it fine but you should use Windows 8.1 and update your bios.

Microsoft even has a free copy for you to get you by while you save and you can have your ethernet cable disconnected for a local account.

So is this link basically a 90 day trial for Windows 8.1?

Yeah, it is the enterprise version for professional use but it will work the same as the standard for gaming and general use.

I would do that, but sadly my wireless card is only compatible with up to Windows 7. Thanks for the help though! I'm still not sure whether or not a brand new disc would fix the entire problem though.

yes, it would fix it and trust me you would be fine with windows 8.
