| | Are you using the booted Windows 7 installer Custom install Drive Options? Clean Install Windows 7 Try wiping the HD first with Diskpart Clean Command: SSD - HDD Optimize for Windows Reinstallation Note that this will destroy all data on the HD, but it should be backed up anyway. If install still fails test HD using maker's HD Diagnostic extended CD scan. Last edited by gregrocker; 05 Jan 2012 at 01:44 PM.. |
