Did you remove all of the HD's except the one you want to install upon? I see four in the screenshot above.

How did you burn the ISO to DVD? Do you have a flash stick you can write with ISO using Universal USB Installer?

how would i put the partion wizard onto a disk because the only settings are putting my laptop disks on to a blank disk

You would download the file Greg linked you to (pwhe7.iso) and burn it to a disk with an ordinary burning application.

i dont think its possible to select one drive for me because they boot in priority and mainly i can only choose between 2 drives my hard drive and my dvd drive can you show me a video or picture one how to select only 1 drive? also how would i burn the partition wizard to a dvd it only gives me options to burn my laptop harddisk to a dvd

Did you unplug all of the HD's except for the one you are trying to install upon?

If you want to go back to the PW step suggested earlier then you need to burn the PW ISO file which you download from the link to CD in Windows. Use Windows Image Burner if Win7 or Vista, or ImgBurn.

Is their a site which tells you how to activate the Parton wizard ?

 

[ToxicXGL]

Yes I am sure I have removed all the ones except my hardrive and my disk drive

I can get to the windows installation but it the "expanding windows files won't move anywhere past ethier 0 or 6 percent the. It says that it can't install anymore

 

[gregrocker]

This problem is almost always with the installer. Have you burned the ISO to DVD using ImgBurn at 4x speed?

If so and it fails again, write the ISO to flash stick using Universal USB Installer with Win7 in dropdown menu. Boot stick using one-time BIOS Boot Menu key, under USB, Removable or HD's.

You do not need to activate PW. Burn the free bootable ISO download to CD and boot it, wipe the HD then create a Primary NTFS partition and mark it Active.

It had got to 56% with the USB then it said to verify the installation source

 

[gregrocker]

Then try a new ISO since the installer is clearly bad: Win7 Home Premium x64 SP1 English Official ISO download

Burn to DVD or write to flash stick using Windows 7 USB-DVD Download Tool

Boot the stick, wipe the HD first: SSD - HDD Optimize for Windows Reinstallation

i was already using that one is it ok if i dont use the latest wont it update its self?

 

[gregrocker]

It's likely you have a bad installer - either the ISO is not intact or the DVD is burned badly.

Confirm the ISO or download another, burn DVD using ImgBurn at 4x speed, or write to flash stick using Universal USB Installer

Ok so the USB worked I download windows and installed it and I was typing in he product number when I was the it wrong and it froze to I turned it off and started the comp normaly and I got this

 

[gregrocker]

Make sure the Win7 drive remains set to boot first, or unplug the other HD's.

Did the install complete? It normally asks for Product Key at the beginning of install. Why did you shut it down if it only froze?

If the install completed and booted into Windows then boot into the installer's System Recovery Options to run Startup Repair repeatedly.

If it froze before install completed, then test your RAM - Test with Memtest86+

Next reboot and enter BIOS setup, set BIOS to defaults, then set SATA controller to AHCI to try install again.

Half the time I try to load the USB it dosent work and I can only get into boot menu sometimes and I did get into the startup repair it said it fixed it and said reboot but still nothing

 

[ToxicXGL]

When I go to try and reinstall it says no drives where found

 

[ToxicXGL]

And for repairing I get no drives and when I click to find one I look for this

Well we took it to some computer people and they said it is now fried..
