HP Pavillion dv7-3007sg : Restarts on loading Windows files

[ccbasubas]

Hello Gurus,

I am having problem installing Windows 7 on this laptop HP Pavillion dv7-3007sg.
This PC comes with a German language and I want to convert it to English language
so I decided to clean install it. So I decided to delete the all partition including the
recovery partition and the recovery disk cannot be found already.
It restart or reboot during the loading of Windows files whenever I tried to reinstall it.
My question now is, how am I going to clean install Win 7 without needing the recovery partition and
recovery disk. Is there any work-around of doing it?

Thank you so much,

Do you have a Win 7 DVD with a valid COA?

Delete or remove all the partitions, insert the Win 7 DVD and it should install. Select your options to load the English version. There are several tutorials covering clean install. Do a search of the tutorial forum and follow the tutorial explicitly.

Regards

Hello,

Thanks for the reply, the pc still has the valid COA sticker. But it is Windows 7 Home Premium and the OS that I installed was Windows 7 Ultimate, will it matter? Does the PC is capable of checking Windows 7 version being installed?
I know that there are similar scenario with mine on the tutorial but their way of doing it was to restore the partition to which the recovery resides.

You have to install Home Premium to use your key on the COA, either 32 or 64 bit.

Download the proper ISO file from here and burn to a dvd.

Why are you installing Ultimate when you own a $100+ license for Home Premium on the PC? Use it to reinstall and save the Ultimate for elsewhere, unless you need one of the few extra expensive features that almost no consumers need. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/14422-compare-windows-7-editions.html

The tutorial which applies here is http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/219487-clean-reinstall-factory-oem-windows-7-a.html#post1839164. Everything that works best is compiled there based on thousands of installs we've helped with here. You'll get and keep a perfect install to the exact extent you stick with the tools and methods given.

Too bad you wiped the HP Tools partition as it is useful Diagnostics. Now to test the RAM or HD you'll need boot disks found in Troubleshooting tutorial below. But you have a clean slate so make the most of it!
