You really need to clear the cmos and start over again at this point. It's standard procedure for problems like you are having.

you can do this by removing your motherboard battery for a few minutes, or some motherboards have some pins that you can jumper.

(can jumper be used as a verb? i don't see why not.)

the wall power must be un-plugged as well

And of course where did you get your win 7 and how did you burn it to dvd

I believe that would be just plain 'jump' but I digress. Before removing the CMOS battery, unplug the computer from the power source and press the power button for about 5 seconds. This releases any charge from the MB. Some CMOS batteries have to be removed for several hours to completely clear the bios.

ok thanks for the answers. Do you think this also will help to getting it to start with the original hdd that i some how cant start the computer with any more... ive installed xp on another hdd but if i try to plug the original in again it just stops at the bios hdd check.

Thtat is a reasonable indication that the HDD is not properly connected Check all connections. Also, double check BIOS settings, especially following a BIOS reset.

It sounds like your version of Windows 7 has an issue assuming you are trying to install on an NTFS partition with Vista installed. Where did you get your Windows 7 DVD?
