It would probably help a lot if you would fill out your system specs

Please fill out your System Specs

   Information

Your System Specs will help us to help you, and doing it in this manner will make them available to all helpers in every post and keep us from hunting for them. We ask that you fill them out in as much detail as possible including Desktop or Laptop, Model number if it is an OEM computer and all components with the Manufacturer and Model number if possible.

If you will go to your last post and click the 'System Specs' in the bottom left of the post, you will find a link to update your system specs. Please fill those out in as much detail as possible. If you would like to know what we would like, you can click 'My System Specs' at the bottom left of this post to see mine. If you do not know what your components are, this will help you accomplish this task. System Info - See Your System Specs

It's a HP Compaq Presario F700 that I'm having this problem with. I added a New HD & 2 gigs of PC2 5300 G SKILL ram. Could the ram be the culprit? It originally had samsung ram in it.

Thinking about laptops: An overview of HP Compaq Presario F700

Even though I ran a WD test on the HD I think it might be bad?!

Also when I try to go to windows recovery options somehow it's showing the operating system on drive E not C?!

According to your picture, you don`t have an E partition.

When you got the laptop, did it have Vista pre-installed? What type of Windows 7 are you trying to install.....OEM or Retail?

Please boot into the system (if you can) and run the following:

1. Download and save this tool to your desktop:
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012

2. Run the tool, and then click Copy - ignore any errors if they appear

3. Use CTRL+V to paste the unedited results of the tool here in your next reply

Ok, yes Vista was preinstalled.
