New mobo, old HDD detected but wont boot

Here is my HDD http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152185

And here is my MOBO

The motherboard logo appears first, which lets me enter the bios. However if I let the logo load it goes to a black screen then the logo appears again. It will repeat this over and over.

My HDD is detected in the BIOS and is first in the load order.

It was set to AHCI in the bios but I did change it to IDE prior to posting and it didnt make a difference whether it was on IDE or AHCI, the logo refreshed itself constantly regardless.

Silly question, but are you sure that windows or any other OS is installed on the HDD.

Was the HDD giving you problems before? I had this happen to me before when my HDD was dying

No problems before at all. And yes windows 7 is installed on it. I just got a new mobo/cpu/gpu and RAM today and replaced all my old components with those new ones. So everything I had is still on that HDD.

I dont think my DVDroms are compatible with the mobo. Which is what I was hoping to avoid using.

i ended up borrowing a cdrom drive from a friend and when i put the windows 7 disk in to install it wont even let me install it on that specific partition (my only one).
