X55c Laptop Booting straight to Bios after hdd crashed and replaced

[Molefe Matjila]

Boot secure was the first thing I took off, sorry I didn't mention it. I have tried to run a OCZ SSD (Sata II) with the firmware updated, as soon as I power up it takes me straight to bios, and if I exit, it takes me right back to bios. I'm using the latest bios. I can take the standard hdd to my desktop install windows 7 using my disc, no problem. On this laptop, just hangs.

So you're installing Windows on the hard drive on a separate computer, then taking the hard drive to another PC?

When in BIOS can you check if the HDD is detected under boot devices?

This could be a problem with driver compatibility between machines; is it possible that you can try installing windows again using the laptop instead of the desktop?
