hi, it is an hp and i just installed again and on advanced driver thingy said to format the d:recovery drive, installation did the registery update,some file thingys, and then rebooted itself and now is hanging again. it was all just after that completing and three dots ... according to some things i have read on here having an hp with a d:recovery, is a problem so i was trying to get rid of it by formating that partition to get a clean install ????????????

Please tell me exact in which step of tutorial it fails

 

[k turner]

it keeps going to black and white screen that says windows failed to start, .............restart your computer .
cant carry on installation in safe mode, wont even go into safe mode, and wont start or repair when starting windows normally
just keeps looping and hanging

 

[k turner]

i am starting installation again from scratch, i will ask u what to do on the screen that shows the partitions......just hold on a bit

Boot from win7 install dvd and do the shift+f10 trick http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/682-command-prompt-startup.html

diskpart
list  disk
exit

how many disks do you see. What is disknumber of physical disk you want to install win7 on?
You want to get rid of all partitions on that disk?

 

[k turner]

ok, have gone past language screen and said start installation
clicked accept terms
gone to custom advanced screen, now i have partition 1 and 2, .............1 is system 21.8 gb, and 2 is primary 5.8gb

 

[k turner]

ah hah, i deleted those partitions in the install screen now i have Disk 0 unallocated space, it may for now

 

[k turner]

it is now installing again, will see if it hangs at end again after that completing installation and three dots place

Thankyou so much for coming to my assistance !!!! X

It is on expending windows files bit atm

 

[k turner]

80 % wont be long now

 

[k turner]

past all other things
pressed any key to continue
is now loading files on black and white screen

 

[Kaktussoft]

let's wait if it continues now. Otherwise do the shift+f10 trick then:

diskpart
select disk 0
clean [B](this will delete partition table, logically all is gone)[/B]
create  part  primary
format  fs=ntfs  label="win7"
active ([B]make it the boot partition)[/B]
exit

format will take some time, but it will prove disk is fine (not for 100% though).
Now reboot from dvd and try to clean install again

starting windows with coloured graphic, came back to front installation screen again
stopped on main install screen with windows 7 at top and lauguage choice again, back where i stated i think ????????????????????

 

[k turner]

done shift f10 will type that in then try again, i am typing that on x: correct? not changing to c: or anywhere else ?

 

[Kaktussoft]

Try post #15
afterwards http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1649-clean-install-windows-7-a.html
Step 9 goes fine? Step 10 goes fine? btw don't press any just before step.... otherwise it boots again from dvd

 

[k turner]

done all that as far as format label window 7 etc, pressed enter,
now on 2 percent complete,

Don't post that much... please only relevant info. typing on X is okay... actually it doesn't matter
