impossible instal of seven

[Labougie]

Hello,

First i'm french, so sorry for my bad words or setences.

I use a acer computer with vista sp1. I've got 3 parts on my hdd.
That is to say an eisa part for recovery, second part C: for vista premium and a third one for datas.

I've downloaded seven on the microsoft website and burn it with nero 7 and imagburn.

Noone works correctly, the best is that one i've burned with imagburn. speed 2.4 on an rw and 4 with an r

Each time i try to install seven, i've got the install page, i press "' install now"', and i received that beautifull message ..

"' windows couldt not collect information ( for os image ) in the specefied image files ( install.wim ) does not exist "'

I've checked my iso disc and the "' install.wim "' really exist on the dvd.

An other detail, each time after pressing "' install now "' and before the beautiful message my floppy tries to run.

If you have ideas or tips, they are welcome.

Sincerely yours,
Labougie,

It is probably your installation media causing the problem..

This happens when it cannot verify the install.wim image on the DVD.

Try changing DVD discs brand, or using an external DVD rom drive. Perhaps yours is failing. If anything else fails, try installing from a USB stick.

USB instuctions here

hi limneos,

thanks for your quick answer.
I've used an emtec dvd+rw an a verbatim dvd+r 16.
Before registerind here i've already the usb install, but I haven't got 4gb usb disk yet.

If i use this method, may I tranfert all files from the promt command or may i use paste and cut from windows ( if i mark all files in )
following this method task bar / tools / tools option and mark all files.

cause in the usb instructions I haven't understood that line
xcopy x:\*.*/s/e/f y:\

x is the place where are the iso files
f is my usb key
but s e and f i dont konw what is it.

I have follow your link and that one http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/2432-usb-windows-7-installation-key-drive-create.html
And I'll do my best to use this method, I try to find a usbkey this week and give you a feedback asap.
Great,
Labougie,

You can copy the contents from windows explorer too, no need to run the cmd commands.

But just so you know:

xcopy x:\*.* /s/e/f y:\

on the above example, X: is your Windows 7 installation DVD or mounted ISO and Y: is your USB Stick drive. Change accordingly.

Thanks a lot for all your advices;

I'll give a feedback after have to buy a usbkey.

You can also just mount the .iso and install from within Vista. That's what I did.

Hi

The "s", "e" and "f" in that command line are simply switches (little commands). The "s" is the switch meaning "Copies Directories & Subdirectories except empty ones", the "e" is "Copies Directories & Subdirectories including empty ones", and the "f" is "Displays full source and destination file names while copying".
You don't need to do anything with those kind of switches, but as stated already the "x" and "y" ones are drive letters that need to be changed to match what your drive lettering is on your machine. You can always tell those ones because they have the Full Colon mark behind them - X: Y:

Hello,

Emcee
I've try your method with ultra-iso and with daemon tools but there is each time a mistake.

So this method is not correct for me, this afternoon i try with a usb key.

Thanks a lot for your explaintions for the prompt command.
I've read that there was 2 methods
1 with a usb key ---------> and the prompt command
2 with a usb key ---------> and only pasta and cut
I think first i t'll the second one.

In all of cases, i'll give you a feedback, and hope it'll be a good news.

"' L:Sources\Spwizeng.dll is not made to be executed under Windows ou he contain an error. Install the soft again with the original instal disc, or contact your system admin or the builder to obtain support "'

I've download the iso file on microsoft server, and i've given my hotamil account, after the download is came with Download manager from Akamai

Salut la bougie qu est ce qu il t arrive ? moi je suis pas tres english tu arrives pas a installer seven ? quel est ton probleme

 

[Labougie]

Stom,

je rencontre plusieurs problèmes,
tout d'abord j'ai eu un problème de boot à l'install du dvd, ensuite j'ai quand même obtenu la page de seven avec enfin le INSTALL NOW.
Aprés ce joli message j'ai toujours install.wim qui serait non trouvable sur le dvd, or, ce fichier apparait correctement sur le dvd mais n'est pas utilisable.
J'ai essayé la manipulation par l'usb le problème reste entier. Install.wim
Je retélécharge pour 3 fois ce foutu soft afin de pouvoir l'installer correctement cette fois ci.


I have lots of troubles.
First I have had trouble with the vista boot when i have insert the dvd.
After i hanve seen the seven page with install now.
After this beautifull message, i always have install.wim who he isn't on the dvd, but, this files appears correctly on the dvd but it is not useable.

I've tried the usb method too. ( It takes a long time to format with dispart. About 20 min and 30 for the xcopy. )
But the trouble is always the same, INSTALL.WIM image os not on the dvd.

So i download a last time that soft, and hope that time it'll be the good one.

Labougie,

Hi,

thanks a lot for your usb tips limneos.
and thanks to the others too.

my last iso download wasn't on snadboxie.
so i conclude that the sandbox has crypted the install.wim, and the burn iso has kept this crypting.

This post is realised with seven under IE8

Labougie,

P.S.
show me the way to mark this post is finshed, pls
