Nov 15, 2014 9:38AM PST

I am trying to install this new Hd that i just got for my laptop. I have a samsung laptop that came with windows 7. I broke the hard drive that cme with the pc in the first place, so i bought a new one. I installed the Hd to the laptop but now it doesnt [pass the bott screen, or the screen that tells me to push f2 or f4 but doesnt do anything. I am trying to install windows 8 with a disc i have. is there anything i can do to install the OS on the new Hard drive?
