It's an error which says that it couldn't update the install files.I have to restart the Setup for it to update the files,but it does not.I must do the installation without the updates.Now I will try the install with this ISO.

Sorry, I can't read the language so I'm not sure what it really shows :o :(

From what i do see in your DM, there are 4 partitions listed in the top part, and 6 partitions listed in the bottom part. :confused:
Win 8 is partition [E] in your DM.
Are you booted into Win 7 for the screen print ?
Do you get an OS selection screen at startup so you can choose Win 7 or Win 8 ?
