Where did you download the win 7 image from?

Hello xRaZaa, welcome to Seven forums!





If the Windows 7 install disk is one you burned yourself it may be a bad burn and needs to be done again, if so this would be the first thing to try.

Use the free ISO burner at the link below to burn another at a speed of now more than 4x and select to let the program to verify the disk before it finishes.


ImgBurn Free ISO Burner

Okai doki I'll re burn it... I think I burnt this one at 8x... Another quick question... I kind of got annoyed at windows 7 for not installing but I tried installing xp onto which I know works... But that too stopes the installation.... And said I may have currupted files... Or a cruppted HDD... I'm kinda worried.... :/

I'm in sync with Ken and the Kid.

Where did this image come from, is it a bad burn, is it an upgrade or full version, and which version of Windows is it?

It's only a bad burn... But as I said xp failed to install aswell :/ and that's a good copy as I installed it 2 weeks ago on my pc... wow the community here's soo cool!!!

So with your "good" burn, did the operating system install? If not, and you had problems with XP, was XP also a burn?

 

[geekfreak]

sounds like he simply had a bad wipe job. go to the partition wizard website and download the pw 5.2 iso, burn it to disk and boot into it. do a secure wipe from there. then try your install of either xp or your newly burned 7 disk. please follow the above avice about using imgburn and burn at no more than 4x.

 

[Bare Foot Kid]

Windows will do a wipe called a "clean all" before the install from diskpart, though the thing to remember is the Windows "clean all" will over-write every sector on the entire Hard Disk Drive (HDD) and mark the HDD as unallocated space so backup anything you don't want to lose.

Where did you get Win7?

After burning another DVD at 4x speed using ImgBurn (it never fails) boot it to wipe the HD first using BFK's tutorial, then clean install.

please dop not tell people it never fails. there is always a chance that it will.

 

[gregrocker]

As long as the ISO file is intact and says "bootable" when loaded into ImgBurn, I've never heard of one fail to boot when burned slowly at 4x speed.

It would more likely be the HASH, so then you should check the HASH of the ISO against the Win7 official HASH.

 

[thefabe]

Sounds to me like you have 1 or 2 thiings possibly wrong
1. As asked where did you get the ISO? Never annswered so I suspect it's a bad ISO, but
You stated you have a good XP that does the same thing.
2. I would think since Vista became corrupted you might have a failing Hard Drive or to many corrupted sectors.
If you can try using a program to over right on the drive running it several times, and also doing a chkdsk or using the manufacturers tools to check the drive.
Then give the install another try. Fabe

 

[saakeman]

ok see do this
get a temporary hardrive install winodws 7 on it
when seven boots up format your hardrive
(my computer , right click on the hardrive thats yours sayy format and follow instrucions)
then boot from disc and install windows 7 on your hardrive
format other hardrive and boom your pc works

 

[eldinv]

Even if your copy of Windows is good and you burn it as 4x speed, the fact that you've installed Windows XP, Vista and now Windows 7 on that drive, you should follow the advice given earlier.

Follow the tutorial, wipe the drive and do a fresh install. Windows 7 has run EXCELLENT since I've done my install following this tutorial:
