All,
Thanks for your help so far. Here is an update..
cleaned the HD and did a new install - things looked alot better this time (previously it was doing odd things like creating a 100mb C drive and installing 7 to the D drive).
Anyway the instalation got all the way through and restarted the machine. It then was updating the registry when it just restarts and says "Windows failed to start" trying to start in any mode results in the machine restarting.
I have tried installing 7 twice now and both times a repair has not worked either.
Any suggestions welcome....
Chris
