Windows 7: Setup hangs after automatic restart

Hello.
I have good installation disk because I have use it a lot before and recently.
I am trying to install Windows 7 x64 on my sistem partition, (recently wiped and formatted) but everytime setup finishes with the first part of the installation it automatically restarts but it gets stuck when the "press any key to boot from dvd" message e tridappears, (If I don't press any key).
If I press any key it wil start the installation over again.

What is this??

I tried ejecting the cd and boot from the harddrive but the screen will remain black with blinking cursor.



THANKS A LOT

Try setting HD as first to boot in BIOS setup. Start the DVD by using one-time BIOS boot menu key given on first screen, or let it autostart now to continue installation when you power up.

Next, wipe the HD before trying reinstall: SSD / HDD : Optimize for Windows Reinstallation

If you failed to back up data partitions before trying reinstall to System Partition, copy it out now using this method: Copy & Paste - in Windows Recovery Console

Or use free Partition Wizard bootable CD to wipe only the System Partition: Partition Wizard : Use the Bootable CD

Good solution above. It's pretty weird that you're offered the option to bypass the optical drive boot, but it gets stuck.

I wiped the system partition with acronis partition magic and formatted it.
I tried booting from the harddrive after choosing Hitachy in Bios boot order.

I also cannot wipe the disk completely because I have another partition with my Virtual Insts. Libraries. (Like 300gb's)

But, I don't quite understand this:
"Start the DVD by using one-time BIOS boot menu key given on first screen, or let it autostart now to continue installation when you power up".

What do you mean???

sorrry thanks

Getting the one-time boot menu is sort of like getting into safe mode. INSTEAD of tapping F8, you tap F12 when you first see anything on the monitor (NOT WINDOWS, but the manufacturer's info).

When you set HD first to boot, trigger the DVD drive if necessary using the one-time BIOS boot menu given on first boot screen or in your mobo Manual. As I do not know Nvidia mobo given in your specs, I can't find it for you. But the DVD should autostart now for you when you power up anyway, to complete installation or if you wipe the partition again.

If not, try using the best Partition Manager compatible with Windows 7 to wipe and format the partition, then mark Active before install: Partition Wizard : Use the Bootable CD

computer does nothing when I type F12.

I have installed windows 7 like 5 times with this cd and same hardware and same partition space before.
My mobo is an XFX nforce.
I have the manual but cannot find the BIOS boot menu thing.

I also have the latest BIOS downloaded from XFX support site.

I tried ESC, F2, F10, F8, F12, with Hitachy first in boot order but it goes to black screen and blinking cursor, from there I have to reset.

What has changed since that last time you installed?

Have you tried removing all but 2gb of RAM to try install?

I think you need to wipe the HD with a set of zeroes using a known compatible manager like free Partition Wizard bootable CD, then Format Primary NTFS and Modify>Mark as Active. This works sometimes in such cases.

Setting HD as first to boot in BIOS setup also works quite often, but you need to boot the DVD with the BIOS one-time Boot Menu key unless it will autostart on empty HD.

Next test your RAM for 5-6 passes with memtest86,

then test HD using maker's diag/repair full CD scan. http://www.tacktech.com/display.cfm?ttid=287

Nothing has changed, I just reinstall windows because I could not rate my computer, (WEI score).
So I wiped partition with a set of zeroes with partition magic, formatted as ntfs and, made it active and tried reinstalling.
Currently i am using 2gb's of memory from 8'gb's.
I did the memory test thing, no errors.
I disconnected 2nd harddrive.
And i used hitachy diagnostic tools to test HD, no errors.

I am setting HD as first boot in BIOS, but I still do not understand when you talk about the "boot the DVD with the BIOS one-time Boot Menu key".

Thanks for your help...
I ll go to sleep now, see you tomorrow, hopefully we'll get thi work.
