New build wont boot to windows

[Airw4ves]

ok so Ive bought a new MB, CPU, and Memory, and have got it all hooked up, it runs the bios screen and everything fine, but when it comes to starting windows, it gives me this screen



Now I have previously bought windows 7 on my last pc, and it should still be on my hdd's but Im wondering if I will need my windows 7 cd in order to re-install it on the machine.

Well You didn't really need to start a new topic but that's fine.

You can't just plug in your old hdd and boot like that. There used to be a way in xp but you had o delete some file. I don't know if it works with win7. Anyways It is highly recommended to do a fresh install of windows.

Sorry about that, Ill know for next time not to make a new thread

So, will I need to just use my same disk or will I be required to buy a whole new copy?
Also, does that mean that all the programs on my hdd will need to be reinstalled, ie. Word, Games, etc.?

You need to go into the BIOS and configure your hard drive as the primary boot device. There should be instructions in the motherboard manual if you can't figure out how to do it.

ok, so I did some fidling around and got it to start up, but now it gives me the option to run either windows 7 or windows vista....which I thought I had whiped from the hdd
is there any way to move my entire windows 7 program to another hdd and wipe my old hdd clean....a fresh start if you like. All my photos are on my external hdd so Im not worried about losing anything

either that or how I get rid of vista for good
