    is it asking for drivers because it is detecting my window xp ?

    if i were to partition the harddrive so it doesn't have any OS on it .. and then boot up window 7 installation .. would it by pass this problem?
    Panda, I have seen successful installations by putting the installation on a partition on C:\ drive.
    However the boot priority needs to be changed to the partition as the installation needs to boot first.

    i had the same problem..
    tried a lot of solutions fromm a lot of diff site
    only solution i found was to replace the dvd rom with a new one
    it immediately deteced the new rom as new hardware foun
    i tried to install my old rom on another xp laptop but it didnt work
    what surprises me is that i loaded windows 7 from the same dvd rom b4 it stopped workin
    wonder if it is a win7 prob...
