Can't install Windows 7
At first I had this issue:
https://www.sevenforums.com/crashes-d...ant-logon.html
After that had been solved and I saved my files, I installed Ubuntu on the computer, it installed successfully and is working, I had made a DVD of Windows 7 SP1 which I downloaded the home premium x64 version from here
Official Windows 7 SP1 ISO from Digital River « My Digital Life
I had burned the image to an 8GB DVD using ImgBurn
Once I had burned that, I booted the computer from the DVD, and the Windows 7 install windows screen showed up, asking for three things, Language, Time and currency, and Keyboard or input method, after I filled that out, English, English (Canada), US, I then clicked next, there was no other option, it then gave me three options, What to know before installing Windows, Repair your computer, and Install Now, I clicked Install now, then the Setup is starting loading page came up, then a
Load Driver box came up saying:
A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive, please insert now.
Note: If the Windows installation media is in the CD/DVD drive, you can safely remove it for this step
It gave me three options, browse, OK, and Cancel, I clicked OK, then another Load Driver box came up saying:
No device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click OK.
After constantly clicking OK, the Select the Driver to be installed screen gave me 2 options, to either browse or Rescan, everytime I rescanned I got the same No device drivers box come up
It also won't load when I try opening it when logged onto Ubuntu, I don't think it recognizes it
Specs:
Acer Aspire 5253-BZ848
Originally had Windows 7 Home premium 64bit installed, now has Ubuntu 12 installed
Any help would be highly appreciated
Thanks
