wtf? lol i think it says that it cant find some installation files.

Are you booting the WIn7 DVD? Is this a DVD your burned yourself, and has it been used successfully before?

Try wiping the HD first to overwrite conflicting or corrupt code: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/91339-ssd-hdd-optimize-windows-reinstallation.html

If the problem persists, please post back the exact wording of the error code, or Google it.

You download an iso? This would be pirating and we will not help you.

i lost the disk i have the home premium code i bought it

This is a guess - but it may be an upgrade instead of the full version.

 

[gregrocker]

Burn another DVD using ImgBurn at 4x speed.

Try the other steps given.

I've installed it before with the same disk

Then try wiping the HD first. Test your RAM and HD.

Try zeroing the HDD before reinstalling. What's probably happening, if it isn't a problem with your CD/DVD drive or the disk you're using, is that you have fragments of data from previous installs that are causing problems.

boot from the DVD then type shift+f10
when the command prompt opens and x:/sources appears type the following commands, one at a time and press enter after each one

Diskpart

list disk

sel disk 0

clean all (this will take a long time because it erases your entire HDD much more thoroughly than formatting

exit

exit

then click install windows now and select the custom installation option
click on drive options, create a new partition, format it, then proceed with installing windows

ok i cleared the hd and formatted it but then i get a bsod lol it was memory management 0x000000A

 

[madtownidiot]

Now would be a good time to fill out your system specs.. the more specific you can be the better.

 

[gregrocker]

Test your RAM with all sticks plugged using memtest86 CD for 5-6 passes or overnight to stress test it. http://www.memtest86.com/download.html

Remove all but 2gb RAM to try install.

You need to verify the ISO HASH and the DVD burn.

Use Hashtab to verify against official Win7 HASH

Next Install ImgBurn, load ISO, choose Verify DVD, make sure it says Bootable in text at left, then insert DVD and Click Verify. If necessary burn another DVD at 4x speed. http://download.cnet.com/ImgBurn/3000-2646_4-10847481.html

There is a tutorial that shows how to do a wipe "secure erase" at this link below; feel free to have a look.

OK then i verified the iso hash it matched with the website and i verified with imgburn and it said it was bootable

 

[gregrocker]

Have you tried everything else suggested?

Zeroed the HD before trying install?

Removed all but 2gb of RAM to try install? Test RAM with memtest86.

Do you have the latest BIOS update? If so, clear the CMOS: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/tp/clearcmos.htm

Then set the SATA controller in BIOS setup to AHCI first. What are the other settings offered?

I see symptoms of RAM going bad...
Try installing using just 1 stick, or use another new set of RAM...
