    Breakdown of Install Issue - Can't read Install CD


    Hello,
    Here's the breakdown:

    HP Laptop with Vista Home Premium 32 bit
    Install Windows 7 Home Premium
    Had to remove HP Quick Launch - no issues
    During verification the system kept asking me to remove kaspersky anti-virus - I do not have this on my computer - never had.
    Just to be sure I downloaded a removal program for Kaspersky and it couldn't find any files.
    Restarted my system now when I go to run the install it can't read the cd.
    Any thoughts?

    If you want a clean install, have you tried booting directly from the Windows 7 install disc--as opposed to starting from within Windows?

    Very good suggestion, I would give it a try. The most important part of the suggestion, is the mention of a clean install. Do a clean install regardless of method used.
