    could be ram issue..try it with each single stick..or run memtest

    try partitioning the drive with another utility...not setup from win cd/dvd
    like gparted patition magic even the utility for your specific hd manufacturer data lifeguard (wd) all the major drives offer one

    if you can find a hiren's boot cd it has all the stuff you need on it..it's about 97 mb iso

    more than likely your setup dvd is ok if it worked on a different machine.

    i hope something might work for you
    I have the Hiren's boot cd already and my hard drive is partitioned with partition magic 8 from hiren's cd, i even did a ram test with hiren's cd utility and it came out ok, so i guess that leaves me with only one option which is to give it a try with a single stick ram. Thank you azteen, i will update when i am done trying your suggestion. :)

    Nothing here man I still can't setup win7, first i started with the double side chip memory stick in slot one the H.D.D led light was on but not blinking or anything and no action from the DVD then I tried the other three slots left, nothing not even the H.D.D led light on, only starting windows that is all.
    Then i tried the other stick the single side chip, slot 1 was working it started copying files, expanding, installing updates then completing installtion it goes to restart and it happend again just hanging on widows starting, slot 2 was the same the happend with the double side chip no hard led light or the DVD just windows starting, slot three came to the stage of completing installtion then it hang so i manually restarted my pc then it asked if i want to enter in safe mode, so i gave it a try then it said the windows need to restart to complete the setup so I gave it the ok then it restart and opened, on the window of the setup in the satge of copleting installtion and my monitor flicker and the resultion changed to 1680x1050 then the final restart to complete the setup and prepare my desktop but that didn't happen it hanged again so i gave it a manual reset again then safe mode then it opend on "setup is preparing your desktop for the first time" and it hang again , the fourth slot offcourse nothing.
    then the big shock I removed both ram sticks and sprayed the slots with a cleaner and pluged them both the double chip in slot 1 and the single chip stick in slot 3 as y MB setting manual says then i gave it the last shot, it went ok till the completing installtion then comes the restart and i am back to where i started nothing only starting windows.

    Also disconnect any un-needed extra devices during the install. USB hubs, flash drivers, printers, external drives, etc. Try it with bare necessities.

    Ok, some members have had to do this:
    Hard drive first, DVD second.
    When you first boot up HIT F8 key to get boot order menu screen.
    Then choose DVD for Win 7 Install DVD already inserted.
    Let it go thru the standard process on install.
    When it does the auto reboot sequences, it will go to the hard drive for the rest of the install.

    Just a few bumps along the way!
