Windows 7 Installation Troubles
Hello Community Members, I have previously installed Windows 7 and recieved the same error and tried it again and it worked, but the installation seemed unstable and I recieved many Blue Screen Errors. In an attempt to correct this I tried to reinstall Windows 7. In doing so I have wiped my hard drive for a fresh install.
I placed the Windows 7 Installation DVD in and proceeded with the install. When I got to the 'expanding files 20+%' the installation stops and I recieve an error stating:
"Windows cannot install required files. The file may be corrupt or missing. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation. Error code: 0x80070570"
In an attempt to correct this I have transferred the files to a USB external hard drive and have got to the same point in the installation and recieved the same error message.
My next step is to download an ISO off the internet and using this as my DVD might contain a corrupt file.
I am wondering what your advice is and any tips on how to correct this (other than my next step). Please note my Windows Installation DVD is genuine.
Cheers, Simon.
