Windows 7 install problem

[tukiainen]

I have tryed to install Windows 7 from 2 different DVD:s and 2 different versions. My problem is that when the installation has unpacked files and copyed files and comes the Completing installation and computer boots i get in ~2minutes a black screen where flashs a _sign in the left upcorner. I would really want to get rid of this Vista and get the 7 running.
Im doing a clean install after formating the hard drive.

Were both dvd's burned from the same download? where did you download it from? Is it an ISO?, or VHD?

Were your DVDs purchased from a retail outlet?

Burned from a download??

Obtained from a questionable source?

Are you sure that your computer meets the required specifications?

Were both dvd's burned from the same download? i said i have tryed 2 different versions. They where ISO

Burned from a download?? yes

Are you sure that your computer meets the required specifications?

I have:
Asus M2N68-LA
4G ddr2 800MHz
DualCore AMd Athlon 64 X2, 2300MHz
Asus GeForce 8500 GT
+ monitor is Acer P221w which is connected with DVI. I have heard that some one has got problems with the DVI connection type in the installation but i havent found any explanations so far.

Try burning the ISO using ImgBurn at 4x speed with Verify. It rarely fails.

If it still hangs then we need to look at the ISO integrity. Where did you download it? What version is it?

Try booting into the installer Repair my Computer to see if it finds a valid installation to repair. If so, run startup repair at least once.

It wants to reboot and can't find anything bootable. Curious.

You could boot to system recovery options command prompt - type

Notepad

Click File>Save - browse the drive to find

$WINDOWS.~BT\SOURCES\PANTHER

if it's there, have a look at NOTEPAD SETUPACT.LOG - the last couple of lines should tell what's wrong.

Im now in the completing section of installation and it gives the black screen and _ ´sign flashes. What exactly am i searching for?

I burned the .ISO with ImgBurn at 4x speed. Then did a clean install and it didnt work. Tryed to repair but didnt work. Then dont know why but when i installed it 2th time it worked and i got in my C: a windows and a windows.old folder. I just deleted the windows.old folder and its working like a charm : )
