I was given a PC still in the box but several years old. The Dell Optiplex 755
This PC comes standard from Dell with the OEM Windows XP Operating System.
Mine had apparantely been refurbished and fitted with Windows 7 Professional
1 week after getting the thing the Harddrive died on me.
I live in an area with no place to buy internal PC hardware
So I took apart an external HDD and placed it in the Dell PC
I tried running the image disk I had made as a back up but it was faulty and did not work.
So I downloaded a torrent Win 7 Pro and created a bootable disk image.
But when I try to load the operating system it cant find the HDD and says to load driver
However it does not recognize any of the drivers I attempt to load including the ones from Dell or Seagate
I can see the drive listed in Bios
All 4 manufacturers whose hardware or software are part of this issue keep referring me to one another with no solutions
Any help you can give me would be appreciated.
Dell Optiplex 755 64bit PC
HDD is a seagate (serial 6vp3604e) barracuda 7200.12 1TB
and the OS is Win 7 Pro with SP1 upgraded from XP
