My Computer has the following configuration:
INTEL, CORE 2 DUO , E46OO @2.40 GHz , 1GB RAM , 160 GB Hard Disk.

Where did you get the install dvd from ?

Did you create it ? It could be faulty.

If not I`d add at least another stick of memory and try again.

Try using a usb installer instead.

The dvd is not faulty because the dvd works fine on my friend's PC and i had also tried by using USB drive but the same problem continues.

You need more memory.
If you are installing Win7 32, add another 1G, same specification.
If you are installing Win7 64 replace with 2 x 2G DDR2 800.
My suggestion is, even if If you are installing Win7 32, replace with 2 x 2G DDR2 800.

 

[Sheikh Suhail]

Sir,
My friend has only 512MB of RAM and he is using WINDOWS 7

This is MS MINIMAL requirements : https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/10737/windows-7-system-requirements
I've installed Win 7 hundred and I recommend what I posted.

 

[Sheikh Suhail]

Sir
I have all the minimum requirements but i can install only 32-bit bcz i have only 1GB RAM.
So , What is the problem with me.

 

[Megahertz07]

AddRam, a Seven Guru, recommended more RAM. So do I.
Is your HDD a SATA or IDE?
What is the Motherboard manufacturer and model?

 

[Sheikh Suhail]

My HDD is SATA and Manufacturer is INTEL @2.40 GHz

 

[Megahertz07]

I've asked what is the Motherboard manufacturer and model not the CPU?
First of all: Update your BIOS.
Set SATA to AHCI
Try to install Windows

 

[Sheikh Suhail]

Sorry , I didn't know the motherboard manufacturer and model ,So how can i find it.
And How to Update my BIOS Set SATA to AHCI

[Sheikh Suhail]

Sir ,
When i install SPECCY , under motherboard option it shows :
"To be filled by O.E.M. (CPU 1)".

 

[Megahertz07]

Go to Start - Programs - Accessories - System Tools and run System Information or click Start, and then click Run. In the Open box, type msinfo32.exe.

[Sheikh Suhail]

Sir,
When i check system information , under motherboard it shows : UNKNOWN.
Plz help sir.

 

[Megahertz07]

What it says under System manufacture?

 

[Sheikh Suhail]

Sorry, There is no option of SYSTEM MANUFACTURE.
Plz help.
Also in past , someone had replied that Update your BIOS from SATA to ACHI

 

[Megahertz07]

As you were running Win XP, i guess your computer is an old model. How can we help you if you can't even give us the motherboard manufacturer?
When you enter BIOS, doesn't it has some information of the MB?
