Can't install Win7, "windows is loading files"

[bkg9990]

@Orbital Shark
Nope, I don't have one sadly.

I'm gonna get my friend's dvd-rw by tomorrow.

It seems that I cannot install either with the 2 dvd-rw that I have regadless of the image I've made

I'm about to lose all hope (

One more thing I need to know, as my harddisk is already cleaned (fresh, no partition, no nothing), is the culprit here the installation disk? I mean the windows file won't load and my harddisk is barely empty.

I need to know if either the harddisk or dvd-rom is the culprit.

Are you trying to install on the same machine that you created the DVDs on? In other words, are you using the same drive to read the DVD that you created it on?

I've just had a thought...

Doesn't the Windows install copy some files to memory & some to HD?

If the HD is not formatted then wont this produce the same issue as Windows is trying to copy to a partition that doesn't exist?

Maybe you could clear that up for me Dwarf while we're here

Nope, I created/burned the copy with another machine. And tested the burned dvd's with my Main one(the one I'm having problems with).

Basically:
Other machine(stable) - works well and burns the dvds

Main one(problematic) - The one that I'm installing the OS's

Hi Jeff,

You can install to a blank drive. In fact, it is better not to pre-format the partition, and instead allow the installation routine to automatically format as required. This accounts for the slight delay that you might notice when copying files - it seems to be stuck at 0% for a short while and then it starts copying.

In that case, try what I suggested and use the SAME drive (if possible). Sometimes, although drives are supposed to create disks that can be read on any compatible drive, tolerance limitations creep in and these can mean that any disk created on a particular drive can only be read on that drive (or, at least, read correctly). Another factor can be disk brand. I find that Verbatim are the most reliable for me. What brand are you using?

@Dwarf

Imation, this is the only ones I can find available as of now so I have to stick with these. I'll try that in a couple of minutes and see what happens with the same dvd-rom.

I don't want to think that my HDD died on me. I can still detect them off, but I can't start installing any OS regardless of build and type(XP,Vista,Win7).

 

[Dwarf]

You should be OK with them, as they are a reputable brand. Your theory about your HDD is a valid one - do you have an alternative drive that you can use temporarily in its place to check?

 

[bkg9990]

@Dwarf

Yes, I do have an alternative HD. Tried several times also, same problem. It's 1TB so I only had one partition(50GB) for the OS allocation.

The one I'm currently using is 640GB and it's clean to the bone. No partitions, no nothing. Not even fomatted.

 

[bkg9990]

Ok good news so far, I am able to install an OS but I'm having some quite of BSOD's

4 of them to be exact, I've attached the dump files if it helps:

Update!

SATA Dvd - Windows 7 7100 Build = Failed(BOOTMGR missing)
SATA Dvd - Windows Vista SP2 = Failed(BOOTMGR missing)
SATA Dvd - Windws XP SP3 = Failed(BOOTMGR missing)

IDE Dvd - Windows 7 7100 Build =
IDE Dvd - Windows Vista SP2 = Failed(BOOTMGR missing)
IDE Dvd - Windws XP SP3 =

There seems to be a trend here. I just can't imagine that so many burns on 2 different drives have resulted in failures. The odds don't support it being the burning software.

In instances like this, the most common fault is the hard drive, but this could also be a memory issue.

So, I'd first suggest that you perform a bootable memory diagnostic. Use this free tool (rather than the built in memory tool): Bootable Memory Test Diagnostics - Vox

Then try a bootable hard drive diagnostic ( Bootable Hard Drive Diagnostics - Vox )

The BSOD's don't point to anything in particular, but here's the summary:

I'm having the same exact problem. I've tried about 5 different ISO burning programs, even IMGBurn at x1 speed. Have made 6 different disks. Always freezes, and if it finishes it just restarts the PC. I can't do anything...OP how did you finally get your OS to actually install? What did you do? I don't understand this partitian stuff.

 

[buang]

i already have the same problem, but finally i can fix it with my UFD 4GB and Ultra ISO software.
i create bootable UFD with seven inside and magically everything works.
right now i didn't have the screen shot to show, but ill create it later and ill uploaded here.
if it help please tell me! Thanks

 

[Weskhan]

I just used an official Windows XP disk and it still froze on the "Setup is loading files" screen. If that disk doesn't work then I doubt another burned disk will buang. Thanks for the help. Any other ideas?

Replaced RAM with working one. Replaced DVD drive with working one. Tried to update the BIOs with an ISO off the company site and it updates for a little and does the same thing: freezes randomly.

What the hell is wrong....?
