Figure this out for me!
Hey Guys! You have helpt me before when I have had Win 7 problems, so i think its a good idear to see if you might be able to help me tsraight this issue out as well!
Im gonna try to explain this as good as i can in my crappy english, so have patience
My friend is running on windows xp at the moment. And i had a win 7 Beta key, that i werent using and an installation disk. So he had just baught a new harddrive, and we started the installation.
Ive booted with the disk, made all the partions and formated the whole thing. Then i started to install.. first time it didnt even start the installation before it froze. Then ive restarted the PC and tryde again. Second time the whole thing froze after 17%. Then I tryde some different settings in the BIOS, but nothing workt. So I reset the BIOS to default. And tryde again. Same crap.
Then I got a bit frustrated after a couple of hours and movde the drive over to my PC. Started the installation, and everything workt like a charm. Then I moved it back over to his PC and started the thing up. The PC loaded win 7 fine, all the way to the moment before it was suppose to show the desktop. Then it bluescreend and died.. again....
Today, he managed to get a Win 7 Retail version with a valid key. And the same thing happends. This makes me wonder what problems hes PC might be having?
The PC is pretty new and he plays all the latest games on it so it shouldnt have any problems running Win 7. But the wierd thing is that the installation disk works on my PC, and i have used it twice to install my PC. But hes computer cant handle the Beta version or the Retail.
What should i do, and where do i begin to check?
Thanks guys for taking time to help me
