No Main Screen When Installing Windows 7!
Hello,
After many and many trials to get this to work I finally decided to register here and ask for help because I got really mad.
Here is what happens:
1. I burned a Windows 7 32bit installation to a DVD and It works as it should.
2. I have set the boot priority to CD/DVD in BIOS.
3. I put the DVD in drive and when it says 'press any key to boot from cd' i press enter and it starts filling the bar which says 'loading windows' or something like that but It works properly, then it loads another time which goes a little slower but it works too.
4. After these bars are finished loading it goes to the windows loading screen with Windows 7 colorful logo and it finishes that.
5. Now I see the default Windows 7 blue background and my mouse pointer which works but there is nothing else, I know that I should get a box which asks me to select language but I don't get that at all...
6. After some time waiting at the blue screen about 2 minutes, my PC restarts and when I repeat the process it does it again...
Here is what I tried:
-Updated BIOS
-Set BIOS back to Default
-Disconnected my mouse and keyboard (tried all slots and combinations)
-Tried installing from an original Windows 7 DVD
-Tried installing from desktop
-Tried installing from other HDD
You can check the attachment for my DxDiag info.
Also I'm planning to do a clean install but I can't even start to format my HDD because It doesn't show anything.
When I tried installing it from desktop it loads everything and fills the copying files and it restarts at 27% of expanding files and when it comes to the blue screen again.. it quickly shows something like 'please don't turn off your pc' and a filling bar above it and then it restarts in like 2 seconds and that loop never stops.
I managed to stop at boot manager and I see an option to start First Windows(which is XP) or Rollback changes... so no setup or windows 7 option...
Also if it helps, when I load my XP it tells me that windows 7 installation failed and that I need to check compatibility which I did and it seems that there should be no problem with compatibility...
So PLEASE help me I'm trying to get this to work for 3 days and I'm so frustrated I want to kick my PC until it falls apart into tiniest atoms.
If you help me I will pray for you lol.
