Hi yes i did verify the disk after the burnand i have made two differant burns and they are both have the same problem.
= Verify the burn has no effect - what ever you do if you burn at speeds over 4X your asking for redundancy errors. (Failure to install.)
Ok i will download Windows 7 drivers but untill i can get windows running i carnt see how to install these drivers.
(If you check stay on internet all the time. Win7 will DL and install all the proper Drivers for you EXCEPT SATA Drivers.)
What i carnt understand i did have it running but only in safe mode but it was running.(Safe mode does not load any drivers for hardware. everything is BASIC.)
1. So apparently you have a BAD DRIVER.
2. make sure you run the Win7 UPDATE Advisor.
3. remove your firewalls
4. remove your Antiviris.
5. you can install any OS via HDD. uncompress the iso to a clean partition other than the one you want as boot drive.
6. click setup.exe
7. Now since you have some problems.
really need some info. see below.

But i carnt get as far as inputting the serial number anf i i try to boot into safe mode now it says windown cannot start in safe mode.

Regards Edward

1. Where did you download your version of Win7?
2. c/p the full name of your download.
3. are you doing a 100% clean install.?
4. when the iso is uncompressed move mouse to setup.exe and open to see properties. what version is your setup.
5. Have you formatted :ntfs since failure to install.
plz enter your system in system specs. 100% easier to review that way than try to open back to 1st page. The more details the better.
enough ?'s for now. hope this helps. and every ? is very important to getting your system going.

Yeah it really does seem like a graphics issue after all, although I had assumed that it wouldn't be a problem because I've used newer cards than the 8600GT (8800GT, 9800GT, etc) and they work fine for me.

Just for the heck of it, check your monitor cable and also go into the BIOS and make sure your RAM has the proper timings and voltage.

Sam, if your motherboard is an ATI chipset instead of an nVidia chipset, you might be suffering the same problem a few of us have.

On my pc, i cannot do a restart. If i just restart, i get black screen, no matter which DVI port I use from the video card.

To solve this, instead of a restart, completely power down the system, wait 10 seconds, then power up.

UPDATE: as it's the restart that's failing i'm going to asume that it's not a bad burn as the main install gets to 100%

which restart are you in reference to. the 1st full restart or the 2n full restart.
every test install for me sofar.
1. full restart at 21% (failure could be video)
2. full restart at 80% (failure is not VIDEO)
3. final full restart at transfer all that actually should be at 86%. (Failure is not Video).

Hi guys i am at the moment downloading the isop file again from microsoft.
The file name i did download is as follows 7100.0.090421-1700_x86fre_client_en-us_retail_ultimate-grc1culfrer_en_dvd
I have run the Win 7 updatye advisor and it reports no problems.

I do apreciate all the help from this forum but i am not able to remove my antivirus or firewall as it is a clean install and there are none installed.

I removed all my spare drives and my erthernet cable so all the drive on my computer are just the DVD drive and a 80 Sata harddrive.

I have attached the iso details hope it works and i will update my system details in a little while
