So I just finished a new computer build ( my first) and I had windows installing this morning, but I hadn't been able to get into the bios yet because I had a mac keyboard and one of the fans wasn't running so I shut down the computer in the middle (maybe a bad move in retrospect, but i was worried).

That issue is resolved, but I cannot install the windows 7 DVD because I get"bootmgr is missing" whenever I try to boot from the dvd. Also, my CD DRIVE is the first boot device. so you know. what do I do to get this computer working? I was trying to figure a way to format the drive maybe but I don't know what to do. the motherboard is a gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R. please help.

You could use this to format and partition your drive

thanks for the help. I got my computer working by creating a bootable disk of the ultimate boot disk and created partitions which formatted the drive and allowed me to install windows.

side issue, my usb 3.0 ports are not working and I can't figure out why. all usb options in the bios are turned on, so wtf? anyone know?

but thanks anyway for the great advice
