      Well, I’ve replaced the hard drives and the battery and tried just about everything but getting a new iOS disc. I’m trying to get a hold of one but now a bout broke. I don’t have a landline so my internet is on my phone. And have no way to get the iOS from my phone to the system cuz I still don’t have a second system yet

        Can you check the Windows 7 USB device in another computer to make sure the media is good.

        Have you changed the boot order in the BIOS so that it boots from the USB device first, the option is sometimes list as “external hard drive”

        Is the 500GB HDD that you fitted detected and named in the BIOS, if yes, is it enabled as the first boot device.

          I had tried everything I could, but I did resolve this issue, turned out that PC was coded specific to his hard drive. Something to do with the coding he put on it. I had to replace almost the whole system to get it to read anything but his hard drive. But now it’s working
