hi
I can't install win7 ultimate 64 bit on this laptop, the dvd is original and working good...after le last boot of installation procedure appears the follow message:
windows could not complete the installation. To install windows of this computer restart the installation.
any idea?
thanks in advance
update
if I install windows 8 every is good...but I prefer win 7...so..I think that the problem is a different geometry of the disk..or the bios...in the bios there isn't any 'strange' voice...originally there was win 7...
anyone can help me? It's so difficult question?
Is this a OEM manufacturer's PC with Pre-installed Windows 8?
thank you for your answer
the laptop born with windows 7
Check the hard drive with the manufacturer's diagnostic tools.

I've just installed windows 8...every good...but before it had windows 7
well...as I wrote before the laptop came with windows 7...
Unplug all other HD's and peripherals,
Boot into BIOS setup, reset to defaults, save changes. If an EFI BIOS you'll need to decide if you want UEFI BIOS vs. Legacy BIOS. If UEFI follow these special steps for Install, otherwise enable Legacy BIOS or Compatibility Support Module to proceed with normal install:
Set DVD drive first to boot, HD second, set SATA controller to AHCI, Save changes and Exit.
Then boot into Windows 7 installer DVD or flash stick burned or written using tool and latest ISO for your licensed OS version here. I would use a fresh ISO written with tool in Step 2 as yours is in question.
At first installer screen Press Shift + F10, or enter System Recovery Options to open a Command Box, type:
DISKPART
LIST DISK
SELECT DISK 0 (after confirming Windows 7 target HD #)
CLEAN
CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
FORMAT FS=NTFS LABEL="WINDOWS 7"
ACTIVE
EXIT
EXIT
Next click Install Now, then Custom install to Clean Install Windows 7 to the partition you created. If it fails then report back at which step and the verbatim error message.
In addition read over these steps to understand the tools and methods which work best to get and maintain a perfect Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7. The steps are the same for retail.
After install you can adjust partition size or Create new partitions for data, etc. in Disk Mgmt. You are creating the partition here for the purpose of wiping the HD and marking Active which overcomes certain install failures.
