    @Aska, what version of Windows did you upgrade from. You mentioned that you bought the DVDs to upgrade your computer, so I assume you had Windows XP or Vista & upgraded to Windows 7.

    Did these DVDs work properly when you did the upgrade?.

    The tutorials are full of very helpful information, check this link and see if it might get you going, sounds like you've formatted the drive already so this may be your only choice.

    FYI for future reference you don't need to format to remove a windows.old folder, disk cleanup within Win7 can do that.

    Good luck :)

    Hi Everyone,
    I accidentally formated all partitions.No
    bootmgr is missing.No Windows is listed to
    repair. When I want install Windows 7. It gets
    stucked at expanding windows. Files
    Thank in advance

    If you formatted all partitions (let's not discuss
    why you did that) then there are free and
    effective tools out there that can repair that. As
    one solution, using another computer,
    download Parted Magic and burn the ISO to a
    CD/DVD. Then boot the original computer using
    that disk. On it you will find GParted. On
    Youtube you will find plenty of tutorials on how
    to use gparted or testdisk to restore lost
    partitions.

    Good luck!

    Hi, Since you formatted your drive, you could
    install win 7 without any problem.
    The stop at expanding stage is due to the
    scratching in the disc. If you have the ISO or
    any other disc , try that it will pass the expand
    stage to install windows , if there is no side
    issue.
    The install.wim should expand the files. In
    some system, it takes a little more time to
    expand due to the repair in hdd.
    I would suggest you to go to the website of the
    hdd of your to download the tool , diagnostic ,
    one and boot it from the cd. Normally those
    tools are available in dos form, so it would be
    booting automatically to show the hard dsik. If
    there is no failure of hdd, then you can format
    there . There will be options to format c:. Do it
    ,with the help of that software. if your hdd is
    Seagate, then the link would give an idea to you

    disk for formatting The message saying Disk
    boot failer, insert system disk and press enter

    The boot mgr missing problem will be there if
    all the things are not properly copied to the dvd.
    How did you burn the OS. There are simplest
    way of booting with usb, rather than dvd. For
    that you must have a 4 gb pen drive. The
    instructions are so simple, that you could use
    without much trouble. But mind, that you
    should have the original windows 7 intact with
    all the files in its original form with all the files
    without one missing file in any folder
    particularly install.wim folder.
    You could use imgburn to burn it as iso in some
    other computer and then install the same , by
    selecting burn to dvd by the instructions. It will
    enable booting the OS, by installing the
    windows from the DVD.
    First you use copy files to image to burn to Iso,
    and then just burn that to dvd using , the
    approprate menu, burn image to dvd menu.
    That is so easy and imgburn is free tool. ' The
    link is
    How to create a Windows Vista / 7 / 8 installation disc (bootable) using ImgBurn - Guides - ImgBurn Support Forum your copy, the dvd OS copy is scratched then
    you have to get the clean window 7 OS.
    Otherwise, it will be stopping at 0%expanding.
    Otherwise, if you have 4 gb pen drive , just do
    the following to write to the usb and if your
    computer is usb supported in bios, then you
    could go to bios change the order to boot from
    usb and then install the windows. In usb
    method there is no failure of scratch disc.
    I will continue n the next post the link of these
    instructions

        

    To try the usb install do this . I copied from my
    instruction to other thread in another forum.
    This will definitely work if you correctly follow
    The method is
    first insert your 4 gb or more pen drive . Go to
    elevated command prompt and type these
    commands. the following will be
    easy to understand
    C:\Windows\system32>diskpart Enter
    Microsoft DiskPart version 6.1.7000
    Copyright (C) 1999-2008 Microsoft
    Corporation.
    On computer:----Fistly type Diskpart and enter
    DISKPART> list disk
    Disk ### Status Size Free Dyn Gpt

    Disk 0 Online 149 GB 0 B
    Disk 1 Online 3834 MB 0 B ()pen drive disk to
    be selected based on size
    DISKPART> select disk 1 Enter
    Disk 1 is now the selected disk.
    DISKPART> clean Enter
    DiskPart succeeded in cleaning the disk.
    DISKPART> create partition primary Enter
    DiskPart succeeded in creating the specified
    partition.
    DISKPART> format fs=fat32 quick enter
    100 percent completed
    DiskPart successfully formatted the volume.
    DISKPART> active Enter
    DiskPart marked the current partition as active.
    DISKPART> exit
    Leaving DiskPart...
    C:\Windows\system32>exit
    . Then insert your dvd in to the drive.
    open the installation dvd. Select all copy and
    send to pen drive.
    It
    will work 100% without fail. If your cd drive is
    pucca. Moreover, while
    installing windows, you could be amazed at the
    speed in extracting from
    usb. Usb is safe and you need not bother about
    scratching.

    pendrive. Shut down and reboot. Then just
    select the priority to boot
    from usb in the bios, if you have. If that is not,
    please download plbt
    iso, a third party program, which will give you a
    screen menu from cd,
    if you boot from cd first,which will have usb as
    a choice menu. If you
    click that one, it will boot from pen drive.
    N.B: Enter means , press the Enter key after
    each command

    Layback Bear -- Did that explanation make sense to you? If his Win DVD was scratched, how did he get a good Win 7 file?
