Thank you all! I hope this works!
Now for a really stupid question...
Earlier today, I added Windows 8 to the boot loader, only to find out that Windows 8 had updates to install and only restarted, and that Windows 7 only went to recovery mode.
Even if I don't add Windows 8 (I probably won't), do I risk having this happen to me again?
:P I did wipe the disk and start over. Windows 8 is one thing I'm not going to do again.
Now can someone please tell me where the product key is in this unattend answer file? Please?
I have an original DVD disk. It's giving me this error before setup even starts. I just want to know where the unattend answer file is and how to fix it so that I can move on with Windows setup.
Can it be assumed that your dvd is a bootable dvd? If so then you must boot from the dvd in your dvd/cd rom drive. When the computer starts, you must select the dvd drive as your first boot drive, then the dvd will start up and give you all the options.
FWiW; what does the dvd disk say on the label? update, OEM or full retail?
The code for install is normally on the sleeve or cover for the DVD.

The disc I have IS bootable. The only problem is that if I try to boot off of it, Windows 7 just won't install. I don't get that.
Oh, and by the way, I downloaded new software to bypass this answer file thing called RT Seven Lite. My only problem is that I don't know how to use it, so can anyone who reads this that knows how to use it help me?
Shadowboy, when you boot your computer with the disk, what shows on the screen? when you say it doesn't install, what does the screen show when it fails?
Where did you get the disk? who did you buy it from or where did it come from.
Otherwise, we are all whistling in the dark.

Nothing necessarily appears on the screen, really. When it gets to expanding files, it hangs at 0%. No, really-- it just hangs there. I downloaded Windows 7 from Digital River- I didn't really get it on a disk.
