[Steezy]

thanks alot.

I'll just post all my results when i do them while i'm still awake

 

[Steezy]

-update-
just disconected the extra drives. ( i reallllly hope i dd the right ones, they are hard to take apart.. Putting them back together will be a blast)

and right now i'm about to start the installation! Again!

 

[Steezy]

Can anyone tell me why my windows 7 disc is running VERY slow?
I have burnt multiple copies, some at normal speed, Some at 4x.

I have checked otger boot disc programs and they are runnIng just fine.
What is the problem?

 

[DocBrown]

If you got the original from your uncle, why did you have to burn more install DVDs ?

Was it a retail Win7 DVD ?

 

[Steezy]

Yes retail; the retail disc was running fine one day, then slow as hell the next. I thought maybe the disc was going bad (somehow) and burnt a few more to see if there was a problem or not.
And i have no clue why all my win discs are performing THIS slow :l
i take great care of all my cds/dvds so there really is no reason for this....

And it makes installation that much harder.

What did you burn the new DVD from?

If you have a 4gb+ flash stick then you can extract the ISO from retail install DVD and write it to flash stick to try install that way: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/2432-usb-windows-7-installation-key-drive-create.html

Removing HD's should be no more difficult that carefully pulling the 2 cables from the back of each. Remember to ground yourself by touching case first, don't touch mobo.

Greg...
I have looked into this 3 or 4 times now and completely forgot thanks
for reminding me!

 

[Steezy]

Just finished getting the windows boot to my flash drive. Hopefully this works >.<
But does anyone know why the discs are slow? I have tried a few copies and that really only leads me to believe that it is the program itself that is whack. But it didn't start like this so hmmm. Wierd

 

[Steezy]

Problem-
i set the bios to use usb first and now it says
"no bootable partitiom in table"


:l

 

[gregrocker]

When you burned the DVD's again, what did you burn them from? What was the source of the ISO?

You may need to try another method to boot USB flash stick. I use UltraISO trial, load in ISO then Write Image to stick on Bootable tab, format first.

Boot stick from BIOS Boot Menu, often under Hard Drives.

 

[Steezy]

Yeah i have that selected hmmm.

The source of the ISO was the retail copy. I put the retail in, the comp extracted the image/files then used imgburn to write that data onto a blank dvd with 4.7gb

just like the tutorials say. Same with the usb.

 

[DocBrown]

The USB stick needs to be written to as a bootable USB drive.

[Steezy]

Lol. The usb is going the same speed as the discs.
This is insane how do you
guys put up with this?

 

[Steezy]

Omg i think its finally workingggg
the mouse icon is smaller than usual and so is the text!
I haven't had this before yet! But i am at the "completing installation" part...
I make it here every time after 4 houra of "expanding files" then the computer turns off. Hmmm this step will probably take 15-20 mins to show any signs of failure :/
but let's pray >.<

 

[DocBrown]

We are all waiting in anticipation

 

[Steezy]

Lol.
I love back to the future ^^

 

[Steezy]

Alright well..
after 30 minutes of waiting, the screen goes black but is still lit up. There is a flashing underscore symbol at thw very top left corner

did i luck out again?

 

[Steezy]

Now the monitor turned off :/
damn. Do i leave it (the computer is still on, the lights are acting weird) or do i just turn off the computer..
If i turn it off, what should i do next?
