Windows – How to install Windows 7 on Samsung NP530U3B

windows 7windows-installation

I purchased a new notebook and I'm trying to reinstall Windows. I could start the installation once via external USB DVD Drive. I deleted the old partitions and had to reboot. After that the computer will not boot from the external USB Drive. I also tried the transfer the image to USB stick. Still not working.

The drive and the usb stick are not recognized in the bios. While booting, after a really short moment the screen is full of "Missing operating system" messages, but with carriage return.

The manual is a mess (some windows software with few to no information). I found out that you can enter the boot menu while pressing F10 in the beginning, but also there the usb driver or the stick doesn't show up.

The DVD and the usb stick works on other computers.

The problem was the option

Fast BIOS Mode

in the BIOS. It was enabled (by default) which deactivated boot-from-usb support.
