Clean install win 7 x64. Starting setup services loop/DiskPart error.
Hi,
I've tried suggestions around this forum but everyone had a different reason to why it came to this error so i'm trying to explain how i got to this error because this is really stressing me out.
I'm having problems with my windows 7 ultimate x64 install on a toshiba satiellite laptop..My laptop was restarted right when I was in the last stages of Completing installation and now I'm stuck in a loop "starting setup services" and then after there is another error saying " The computer restarted unexpectedly........installation cannot proceed...... click OK and the restart the installation".
At this point I press shift + f10 to open command prompt and try diskpart because I had to do the same thing on the laptop I'm on now. It worked on this one (an HP). But on the toshiba I get to "list disk" and well there is ONLY Disk 0. I "select disk 0" and it says it's selected and I type "clean"/"clean all" but I have an error "virtualdisk service error: clean is not allowed on the disk containing the current boot....etc".
-i cant do clean install/format that i need to do or is there another way besides diskpart?
-my windows disk is one i created from an iso. it's not burned into the DVD RW (could this be the problem?) i read somewhere that to install win 7 on a toshiba it must be burned.
-i actually had windows 7 x32 installed but i wanted x64 because the computer came with x64 but i was having problems so i put on x32 because it was smaller and did fix my problem.but now i need x64 because most of the laptops drivers that i put back on are only for x64! sorry a confusing part...
-windows installed perfectly during the x32. x64 is my problem. by the way both installs were done by using files from the iso so i didnt use a disk with the x32 install but during the x64 i used a non-burned iso files version to install.
-when i go in safe mode it has an error that the installation can't be completed in safe mode.
-i used custom install
-i have a 4gb usb and some extra empty DVD+RW that are 4.7gb if that info helps somehow..
so...what am i supposed to do now? do i create another disk in DiskPart(if so how?)
while waiting for a reply i'll search around here more there might be a post i missed..thanks in advance for helping me
