    Windows 7 install problem


    I have tryed to install Windows 7 from 2 different DVD:s and 2 different versions. My problem is that when the installation has unpacked files and copyed files and comes the Completing installation and computer boots i get in ~2minutes a black screen where flashs a _sign in the left upcorner. I would really want to get rid of this Vista and get the 7 running.
    Im doing a clean install after formating the hard drive.

    Were your DVDs purchased from a retail outlet?

    Burned from a download??

    Obtained from a questionable source?

    Try burning the ISO using ImgBurn at 4x speed with Verify. It rarely fails.

    If it still hangs then we need to look at the ISO integrity. Where did you download it? What version is it?

    Try booting into the installer Repair my Computer to see if it finds a valid installation to repair. If so, run startup repair at least once.

    It wants to reboot and can't find anything bootable. Curious.

    You could boot to system recovery options command prompt - type

    Notepad

    Click File>Save - browse the drive to find

    $WINDOWS.~BT\SOURCES\PANTHER

    if it's there, have a look at NOTEPAD SETUPACT.LOG - the last couple of lines should tell what's wrong.
