Once again, my inability to check things twice has gotten the better of me

I decided to wipe my hard drive and reinstall Windows after nearly two years of having my computer.

So I backed up all the files that I want to keep, I have put in the OS DVD in the drive, restarted the computer, and made sure that the DVD drive is set as the primary boot media in the BIOS menu.

I go through the initial steps of the install process, I choose to format the hard drive instead of importing the files because I want this to be a complete restart.

The computer restarts, nothing weird with that, it said that it would restart several times.

And the screen goes black.

It stays that way.

I try to move the mouse a bit, and a cursor appears.

Nothing weird, I thought. I'll give it a while, maybe this is supposed to happen.

I wait.

After a while of nothing happening, I restart the installation.

And again.

And again.

I notice that the mouse dissapears from the monitor if I move it to far in one direction.

I turn on my secondary monitor to see if that's were it goes.

AND THE MOTHERFUCKIN INSTALLATION CONTINUES ON THAT MONITOR

I SPENT AN HOUR ON A PROBLEM I COULD'VE SOLVED IN FIVE SECONDS

If you know, you know.
Yeah, it happened once to me when I rebooted from CentOS to Windows but I shut down the secondary monitor.
Not sure why a laptop video card would prioritise an external VGA-connected monitor rather that the actual laptop monitor. I spent like 10 minutes trying to figure out what might be wrong.

I don't think that's a case of double-checking though

Well, checking other options. I didn't know how to put it. The solution was right in front of my nose.
