    Where did you get the ISO? How are you burning it? Use ImgBurn at 4x speed, or write to flash stick using Universal USB Installer.

    If new installer fails try wiping the target HD, and as always install with other unplugged: SSD - HDD Optimize for Windows Reinstallation
    Again, I bought it from MSStore, I downloaded the ISO. The disk would take a while to get here. Burning with K3B on Ubuntu. Like you told me 4x speed. My main Windows partition is super unstable (i just moved the HD from my old laptop to this one).

    Did you read the post? Can't install from USB (I don't have one big enough for the installation files)

    Did you see the video? i cant get past that part, not even with a clean harddrive my laptop restarts. It does the same for both my HDDs... they work on my old computer so i know the problem is not that.

    The DVD burned, tried again with my 250gb drive (the slave) on the main slot, same results.

    Sorry I missed a post of yours.

    I'd use ImgBurn which always works. Never heard of K38.

    Did you wipe the HD?

    Next reset BIOS to defaults, set SATA controller to AHCI to try install.

    Unplug all other HD's and peripherals.

    Used ImgBurn, Same thing

    Wiped the HD, set it to NTFS, same results

    Bios to default, Same result

    Cant change to AHCI, i dont have that option on my bios :/

    I really don't know what else to do.

    Try removing all but 2gb of RAM to try install.

    The way to eliminate the installer as cause is to buy a $5 4gb flash stick to write the ISO with Universal USB Installer. Maybe you can borrow one for a few hours?

    YOu have unplugged all other HD's and wiped the HD using DIskpart Clean command?

    If all else fails you can move the HD to another computer to install, then SysPrep before moving Win7 back to target computer: SysPrep to move HD to another computer

    Hey Gregrocker, turns out it was the installation after all, I believe the laser of my burner might be damaged or there is an error on the ISO i downloaded. I tried all the disks i had burned on my old computer and the same happened.

    I will get a USB drive as you suggested and try again.

    I will mark the thread as Solved. I will PM you if i get into any other problems (its always good to have an MVP to help ) Thanks a lot for the help!
