Ok dats better...
Get a windows 7/8 boot cd (costs less than N200)
Insert the cd into the cd drive and restart the system
If it boots from cd, u should see a prompt like; Press any key to boot from cd/dvd: press any key
It should load some files and then bring u to a windows screen
U would see an Install windows button, click on it and accept the terms and conditionsFrom there it should be quite easy to complete just make sure u read and follow the instructions u see on ur screen
Also make sure u select a partition to install it into and the computer should do the rest.

If u encounter any problem feel free to mention me: RobinHez

Note that this procedure could format ur system, so I advice u backup personal data...or best still, take it to a qualified engineer to help with it.

The response is that "a media driver your computer is missing. This could be a DVD, USB or Hard Disk driver

RobinHez:

Yeah!
