Error(s) when installing Windows 7 professional 64-bit.
Well guys, just today, i tried reinstalling windows 7 professional 64-bit. Well, this isn't the first time i install win 7 pro 64 bit. I installed a few times.
PROBLEM 1: In the past, when i tried installing, setup randomly freezes. I'm suspecting that either the harddisk is faulty or the cd drive, or even the installation disc ( i burnt it myself). Just installing halfway, i can see the cd-rom drive stops reading (i.e. light does not blink anymore).
PROBLEM 2: But however, there was ONCE, i successfully installed it. But just today, my computer decides to show me "disk boot failure'. So i decided to reinstall it... And now, it decided that it does not want to show my hard disk for installation. And for the SSD, even after formatting, it still do not allow me to install on it. It shows something like a previous windows is detected etcetc.
Steps I did: For PROBLEM 1, i changed a cd-rom drive, however the same problem occurs, thus i burnt another cd. Problem still exist... I do not know how i successfully installed windows once.
For PROBLEM 2, i used a SATA to USB converter and tried using my laptop to format it. No problem, hard disk formatted. However when i put it back into my desktop to try installing windows, the hard disk does not want to show up again. Tried the same thing on my SSD(took out, used another PC to format), still shows me that a previous windos is detected etc.
CONCLUSION: I AM DYING FROM ALL THIS TRYING OUTTTT. Can someone please help me?? Or roughly let me know what is the problem about. Hardware or software? Thank you to those who take your time reading this, really appreciate it! :)
