Can't install anything anymore.
Well, I thought I might actually try my hand at installing my Windows 7 x64 Pro student upgrade from Digital River finally today after I found the iso.
All has gone to hell.
First, I tried installing 7 to a second drive then activating it. Got the whole this license is for upgrades not clean installs.
So, I try some of the workarounds, which just ended up blue screening my computer and could no longer boot and a repair did nothing.
I tried installing 7 over my Vista install on the other Hard Drive, it failed during install and I had a half done 7 install on my Vista, which screwed up my MBR.
I tried reinstalling vista then installing 7 again (Note this is Vista 32bt HP to W7 64bit Pro, so no upgrades). Vista would just blue screen during install, each time I tried it would give a different error.
Now, I have two blank drives, so I try installing 7 back onto it like I had before, now the install fails every time with the error oxC0000005 in the installing features phase.
Seems that I am SOL?
This is a computer that has been running fine for the past year and never blue screened.
