Installing Windows 7 from Windows 8
Hello,
I am trying to install Windows 7 back on my Lenevo laptop following the process:
I installed Windows 7 from an online site called "Dreamspark" which is available to me as a student at my school. The file is an ISO file and after I downloaded it I ran the Setup up, clicked on "Install Now", then on "Go online to get the latest updates for installation (recommended)."
However I get the error:
"Windows 7 error windows could not update the installation files. to install windows, close Setup and restart the installation. Error code: 0x0".
Now if I don't click on the option to get the latest updates...and instead just click on install, and select the partition in the C Drive I get the following:
A prompt telling me it's "Copying Windows Files", "expanding windows files", and it restarts the laptop. When booting up again, the Boot manager shows up but starts up Windows 7 automatically. I see the "Starting Windows" logo but then a blue screen comes up saying :
"Check to be sure you have adequate disk space. If a driver is identified in the Stop message, disable the driver or check with the manufacturer for driver updates. Check with your hardware vendor from any BIOS updates. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing.... "
Does anyone know how I can work around this? I already backed up all the files from the laptop and just want to install back Windows 7. Thank you everyone!
