On Clean Install from upgrade cd: kernel is missing or corrupt
Hi All,
I had some issues previously with XP (blue screen of death). I thought I may have had a virus so I went ahead and reformatted my hard drive completely and purchased the win 7 upgrade cd and license in order to do a clean install.
When I try to boot from the cd, I get an error right when it's done loading that says that the kernel is missing or corrupt.
I am not a computer expert, but I'm thinking I may have some sort of motherboard problem at this point... Does anyone know of anything else that might be causing this problem?
Thanks! (Hopefully since they asked me for info on my comp specs initially, you will be able to see them when I post... if not, I will post them.)
