The computer boots to CMOS error then prompts for install with safe mode.
All the options yeild zero results .
Attempts at reinstalling the windows result in the computer not detecting its CD or DVD drive and sugguest it should boot from HDD or Floppy.

May be a stupid answer/question, but have you tested your power supply?

Try replacing cmos battery if not flash bios if you can

Do you have the drivers installed for the CD or DVD drive?

sounds as if the BIOS/UEFI is corrupt. Another possible is that the HDD's boot sector is corrupt. This may require a technician to sort out

You need to go into the BIOS. If you're using a DVD and it's not seeing that early on after the BIOS boot, then the settings in the BIOS are wrong. You need to enter the BIOS and go into the section generally titled Boot Sequence and change the sequence from the hard drive from first in the sequence, and make the DVD drive the first in the boot up sequence. In this way after the BIOS boot you should see a screen that says "hit any key to boot from CD/DVD drive". You hit any key immediately and it will launch the disk in the DVD drive. Hope this helps!
