i want to reformat pc into windows 7 but whenever i try to boot my installation cd after pressing any key to continue then load files from the cd it just give me blank screen with nothing in it i tried to boot from my installation USB dirve but it just gave me black screen with blinking underbar, and after a few minute it will boot my current OS(Windows XP)

i already tried booting both CD and USB drive in my laptop and they work fine

Set he bios to defaults F5, try again.

Booting from the dvd or usb is not the same as installing from your dvd/usb.

Your test on your laptop is great, but it doesn`t prove the installer is OK.

I`d create a new one.

Free ISO Burner at no faster the x4 speed

or

where did the iso file come from, download a new one.

actually, i already used both the cd and usb to reformat 3 different PC last night so i am quite positive that the the problem isn't the cd or the usb i even try to install windows 7 in my virtual machine using the USB and it worked just fine

This isn't adding up.
If you installed all those Windows 7 with the proper COA keys you should have a Microsoft DVD for Windows 7 somewhere. Just use one of them. They won't be corrupted and should work just fine.

So then it`s the machine you`re trying to install on.

Keep fiddling with the bios.
