Will install fail because of USB KBD/Mse ?
Optiplex GX620. this system has no old-school kbd & mouse ports.
Tried backup/restore to new drive for a week and all failed.
Now trying fresh clean install with Windows 7 Ultimate on DVD, fresh 500gb drive that I have checked for errors.
Install bails ~20% of "expanding, or less.
Error 0X80070001 "Windows cannot install required files.
Is there something about a USB-only system that makes it difficult to install, upgrade, restore from backup, etc? Prior to trying this install I tried about a dozen times to restore to a new drive using a clean backup image [using Image For Windows], which backup I had validated byte-for-byte. it would fail to validate on the Restore, citing "stream error".
only thing I have not checked is a thorough overnight memory test. The system was up and running for a week solid with the original Win7 Pro on a small hard drive... no issues that I could see.
thx for any advice.
