Video cuts out during "Expanding Files"

[xxxxsh4d0wxxxx]

Okay, I had another thread that was apparently going nowhere, probably because of the way that I, poorly, worded it.

I am attempting to install the latest Win7 ISO from the Microsoft website. I am attempting to install the 64-bit version.

I will get past the first reboot, and get to 30-33% of the expanding files stage, and will lose video. I am 100% sure it is a video loss.

I am trying to install it by having my main 250GB HDD as the OS with XP on it, and using my other 250GB as my formatted and partitioned HDD in which Win7 will be installed upon. I am not trying to install it from inside XP onto my current HDD, it is being installed inside XP to another, formatted, and partitioned, HDD that is connected.

I apologize for the confusion in my last thread, as I really wasn't being clear.

Why not burn it to dvd and boot from that? win 7 will find you video driver for itself

Don't think you can run the Win 7.exe from XP.

Like zig said, burn an ISO and boot from DVD.

Will do, I'll pick up some DVD's after work. What size need they be?

 

[TGSoldier]

Normal 4.7Gb dvd is fine..

Standard 4.3 gig will fit either 32bit or 64. Always good to have a win 7 dvd around in case

Okay, sorry it took me so long to respond. I work at the largest Ford dealership in the midwest and with the whole "Cash For Clunkers" deal still going on, it's been busier than ever.

Any who, how do I make the bootable CD? I've got the ISO and a 4.7GB DVD. I know I need to use a program to rip it on there, but which is the best? Also, do I need to use WinRar to extract the ISO or what?

You can use ImgBurn from here: The Official ImgBurn Website Their forums contain many useful hints on using this program, but it is really quite easy and straightforward. On the main page, click on the option Write image file to disc and follow the subsequent instructions.

You don't need to make the dvd bootable nor do you need to extract the contents of the iso, the iso image of windows 7 dvd is already bootable, all you have to do is burn the iso image to a blank dvd.

Here is how to do it, step by step :

1) You need to install an application for cd/dvd burning like Nero, or Ashampoo Burning Studio (not free), or ImgBurn or CDBurner XP which are free (I will use ImgBurn for this tutorial).

Link for ImgBurn download
http://download.imgburn.com/SetupImgBurn_2.5.0.0.exe

Link for CDBurnerXP download
http://cdburnerxp.se/downloadsetup.exe


2)Start ImgBurn application and choose the option
Write Image File To Disk




3)Next you need to find and select the iso image that you want to burn. At the top where it says Source and "Please select a file", click on the little icon of a folder with an magnifying glass over it to locate the iso file on your computer.


Also make sure that the "Verify" option is selected
so that after burning, the program will check the burned disk to verify if it was burned properly and that there are no errors while reading the disk.
I would also advise to select a slower burning speed, for instance 4x or even lower ( by default ImgBurn is set to burn at max speed that either dvd burner or the blank dvd medium allows ) to ensure the image gets burned properly and so the dvd drive will have no problems reading data off the dvd during the windows install process.


4) Now locate the iso file on your computer, select it and click Open




5) Now all you have to do is click on the "Write" option in the bottom of the window as shown in the final screenshot, and let ImgBurn application do the rest. it will proceed to first write the image to the dvd, and then it will open and close the dvd drive tray and proceed to verify the burned dvd.
Then it will notify you that the dvd was burned successfully.


Hope this helps.
Cheers.

Thanks! Burning the ISO to the DVD was a success. I wrote i at 4x and it had no errors or anything.

My problem still lies, that my video will cut out randomly. This time it cut out at the part where you have the option to create and delete partitions, in the Win 7 installation process.

-Sigh-

I've no clue what to do.

 

[xxxxsh4d0wxxxx]

Okay, so it will install entirely through safe-mode, but when it gets to a certain point it needs to be in normal mode, to complete the installation, and after a certain time, the video cuts out. I've tried different video cards, etc.

I can't think of why it wouldn't work.
