Hello ESL,

It sounds like you may have a corrupted ISO file, and may need to download new copy to use instead. You might try an ISO at the link below for official copies.

Official Windows 7 SP1 ISO from Digital River « My Digital Life

I created the ISO file from my Windows 7 Home Premium OEM X64 DVD.

What are you using to create the ISO with?

Imgburn. I use the create image file from disc option.

I went ahead and burned the ISO from the link at 4X speed with Imgburn. No problems. On a related note, do you know where I can get a legal ISO file for Windows 7 Starter in Spanish. My wife bought her computer in Mexico (a Compaq CQ1500LA) and the key on the side of her tower is for Windows 7 Starter. She made Compaq recovery disks, but of course they load all the HP garbage.
