can't do clean install of win 7 on new HD
hi
hope i've posted this to the right place in the forum!
i have tried to install windows 7 on a brand new HD and it comes up with:"windows setup could not configure windows to run on this computers hardware" i have tried 3 times and still get the same error message. i have put the HD into another machine and installed windows 7 successfully so it can't be the new HD- the recovery disks appear to have no surface damage.
i have previously installed windows 7 on new HD's on this machine before using the same recovery disks with success-what has gone wrong this time? is my computer damaged somehow? before i put in the new HD my computer was infected with a virus but this could only damage the old HD? is the computer broken is their anyway around this?
TIA
regards
