Installation won't begin

[Snufffed]

FORMAT the HDD.
4. If you use a Firewall - uninstall it or Disable it.(stated in earlier post).
5. If you have a AntiViris - uninstall it...(stated in earlier post).
6. Install Win7 and enjoy.

Well, taking your advice I formatted the HD with my windows XP on it and am now stuck with no OS. Trying to install windows 7 with the disk is still unsuccessful. I disconnected my other HD with all my files backed-up on it and only have the blank HD connected. Still the disc never makes it past "Starting Windows"

EDIT: The more I read over my problem it almost sounds to me like Windows 7 is already installed, which it isn't. But to clarify here is a link to my startup of my computer and attempt at installing "7"

Playing that last one in a loop is about the same experience I have had for the past umpteen hours. Just sticks on that logo

So no ideas? I really do not want to go through the process of reinstalling Windows XP and getting all kinds of drivers and whatnot back....

Updates going here, but pulling 2GB of my 6GB seems to have got me past the hang point. It's now sitting at "Expanding Windows Files (0%)" in the UI... I'm hoping it's actually doing something.

Have you tried other brands of media and a different burner?

Sorry if you've already been asked this, but i've been up since 3am and i'm too tired to read through the thread again..

I had this problem with 6801 for some reason, and that was with either a dvd or a usb stick.

I've not had it with any other build though.

Have you installed Hashtab to make sure that your iso isn't damaged at all?

And you really can't tell just by downloading it multiple times or believing that the download isn't corrupted because windows didn't tell you so.

Once again, i'm sorry if this has been covered, it's taken me 10 mins to write this post because i can hardly see my screen
