Win 7 Home install Problem
Hello everyone,
This might be alittle long but here it goes.
I was using my Sony Vaio laptop,intel core i5 vpceg and decided to move into the other room. I moved to the other room and sat down and the computer froze, so I rebooted it..Comes back on with a error( i forgot the error code) it was the error code that basically was a communication error with the HD. So i made sure the HD was secure and nothing changed. I could use restore or anything at all, it just booted saying the error code so I messed around just trying to reload windows and what not. I finally reached a point where I was able to format my HD and reinstall so I preceeded to do that. The entire system just froze and when I restarted it it went to saying their was no OS found...I figured that much.
The computer is right at a yr old, I have 3 recovery disks that were made for it when I bought the computer from best buy(or something like that) So i tried using them and it would take me to restore function(i think) and windows 7 ( had a choice to choose from) either one I chose It would just hang their.
I finally made a bootable flash drive with windows 7 Home on it but I made it using a win xp computer (older). I went back to my bios on the laptop and unable the external thing ( not network) and made sure it booted from external 1st then the HD then cd in that order. I plugged my thumb drive in and rebooted..things were happening and I was happy but after hrs of waiting and restarting..its just hanging at "Setup is Starting" Please..is their anything to fix this?
