Oh I didn't even mess with the settings. Should I try a slow burn or just do a install from a USB drive? And should I wipe my HDD this time or just install?

If I were you I would download it again, and burn it at a slow speed (alcohol is fine). You are burning just the one ISO file right?, not the files and folders?

Just the iso. I asked someone locally for help and he started talking to me about the drivers for it. I should be able to get the OS running even without all the right drivers right? And do I still need to take off XP for it or can I have both of them running?

even without the right drivers. most drivers are not loaded till after the login screen. If you safe boot most drivers arent loaded.

You can have XP and win 7 on the same machine but they should be in different partitions on it.

this problem is either the ISO/DVD or some hardware problem like overclocking.

I dont remember what your system specs are could you list them or put them in your system specs (lower left corner of your posts)

I do have my specs listed. So I guess the plan is reset CPU speed, redownload ISO, reburn at better settings, boot the dvd, install and prey.

Thanks for the specs. I didn't see them. Nice rig. While you are installing Overclocking is a killer. If you just reset to default your current ISO might work.

I overclocked it AFTER my first attempt to install, so its probably not it. I'll be sure to reset it.

my install went ok but my mates didn't. 1st the disk wouldn't boot (dvd), so we used the Gujin boot loader floppy method (Gujin boot/Linux/system loader), which enabled to boot dvd. Then part way thru install failed, tried again and failed different point, so used mem check and found 1st mem module was faulty. Pulled it out and install went perfectly.

Alright, on a clean HDD a new slow burnt DVD I tried again and got the EXACT same problem. It must be a hardware problem, or some of my PC isn't ready for 64 bit. I'll try the 32 bit install and see if it works. The only problem I can see here is my motherboard, as all other parts seem fit and ready for 64 bit Windows 7.

So its fixed?

I've already tried memcheck, chkdsk, and startup repair.

I checked and you have full 64bit support for both cpu and motherboard - try removing your geoforce board until after install ?
