    OK I've tried 2 more discs, both burned with ImgBurn at 4X write speed and get the same results. Below is an image of the screen I get after booting to the disc. The white bar in the middle reads "Windows setup (EMS Enabled)." If i select that, it goes to a file loading screen and then acts as if it is starting Windows 7. I then get a 7 desktop background and nothing else. No commands work or anything. I have also updated my system specs for others to view.

    What is the HD SMART status as read by Crystal Disk from XP? Then run a full Disk Check.

    If XP is not on the HD any longer boot the HD maker's HD Diagnostic extended CD scan, followed by a full Disk Check from the installer System Recovery Options Command Line.

    Once you confirm the HD to be good, back up your files, unplug all other HD's and peripherals,

    Boot into BIOS setup to enable Legacy BIOS if present. Next check BIOS Boot order for an EFI Boot Disk and if present remove it, set DVD drive first to boot, HD second. Then set SATA controller to AHCI. Save changes and Exit.

    Then boot into installer DVD or flash stick burned or written using tool and latest ISO for your licensed here.

    At first installer screen Press Shift + F10 to open a Command Box, type:

    DISKPART
    LIST DISK
    SELECT DISK 0 (after confirming Windows 7 target HD #)
    CLEAN
    CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY SIZE=102400 (for 100gb partition, adjust as desired)
    FORMAT FS=NTFS LABEL="WINDOWS 7"
    ACTIVE
    EXIT
    EXIT

    Next click Install Now to Clean Install Windows 7 to the partition you created. If it fails then report back at which step and the verbatim error message.

    In addition read over these steps to understand the tools and methods which work best to get and maintain a perfect Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7. The steps are the same for retail.

    The SMART status is Bad. This means it is on the verge of failing.

    You can reconfirm this using the Data Lifeguard Diagnostic for DOS (CD) extended bootable CD scan, but even if it repairs enough to pass the test I would replace it as it's not to be fully trusted.

    Do you think this is my issue? I have a spare HD that I will swap out tomorrow evening.

    Yes, the SMART status is generally reliable. But I told you how you can confirm it.

    Have you tried going the Microsoft support route?

    Will the DVD boot and see the HD partitions to install in another PC?

    If you still have XP on the HD will Win7 installer run from it to install to C to overwrite XP? Try that now.

    If not, is there a newer BIOS update for your PC or mobo model? If not reset the BIOS to defaults on the problem PC: Clear CMOS - 3 Ways to Clear the CMOS - Reset BIOS.
    Set SATA controller to AHCI, DVD drive to boot first, HD second.
