  • R - Run a repair
  • F3 - Exit
Hitting "enter" or "r" gets the same result of not detecting hard drives. I tried hitting F8 through various stages and it didn't do anything.

The other CD I have is the "drivers and utilites" and it says the contents are "device drivers, diagnostics and utilities, computer documentation." I did not get any floppy disks with my computer.

What kind of HD do you have? Is it a SATA or IDE drive. If it is a SATA drive you'll have to install the 3rd party raid drivers first when you put in the windows CD.
