Windows 7 Installation
This is a carry over from another thread [Doing a Clean Install with a Upgrade Windows 7 Version (same problem).
I am attempting to perform a clean install of Windows 7 on a computer that has been running XP successfully for two years.
I have attempted this both as autorun and as a boot. I have essentially the same problem either way.
Windows 7 loads normally until the first time tha it reboots (during setup). It shuts down like a reboot but upon return it does not seem to be loading from the CD but rather seems to be using the HD.
I have reloaded XP on the problem computer - which I am using right now.
I am studying my notes and hoping to get additional guidance from the forum.
The Windows 7 that I am attempting to load is a Full Version Home Premium.
I am not a gamer but I do not have a whimpy system (as home computers go). I am just a whimpy user.
