    PowerIso also does a perfect job creating a w7 bootable flash stick.

    You can always try. Let`s see if you get it installed 1st. Let us know how you make out.
    You can change languages through windows update with Pro and Ultimate. I don`t believe you can with Home Premium.

    You'll have to download the correct ISO for your licensed version - the license is language-specific. Win7 Home Premium x64 SP1 English Official ISO download

    This is why we should link only the licensed version for OP, along with the Windows 7 USB-DVD Download Tool.

    Okay ..... i know i am a novice ... but i am really bad i suppose.

    I followed the clean install using the ISO disc - it started and gave the install windows screen. After i chose language - the next screen was SELECT THE DRIVER TO BE INSTALLED - and its giving an ERROR stating "No Device Drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click OK"

    Greg - i know u told that u ve mentioned about drivers - am unable to locate that correctly ... please help by pasting the content here..... When i go to the SONY site - all they have is only UPGRADES for DRIVERS ...

    Are you saying that an error pops up that the HD cannot be detected so it wants Storage drivers to see it? Perhaps you should post back the exact error message. If you merely clicked the Load Drivers link that was not necessary if the HD shows up in the Drive window.

    Enter BIOS setup by tapping the key given on first boot screen. Page through the tabs to look for where the HD or Storage devices are listed. Is the HD seen in BIOS? Set the SATA controller at AHCI.

    You also need to check in BIOS and in the Manual for your computer found on it's Sony Support Downloads webpage to see if you have an EFI mobo as most recent computers do. If so it requires special steps to install: UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) - Install Windows 7 with - Windows 7 Forums. You might get Sony to tells you this.

    If the HD shows up in BIOS and you don't have an EFI mobo, then error you describe almost always means the installer is bad. Confirm the ISO download completed, then burn to DVD using ImgBurn at 4x speed which always works.
