Problem: I recently recieved a windows 7 upgrade media for Samsung. I put the CD in and it starts to get louder and beeps continuously, but nothing loads from the CD. I tried going to MY COMPUTER and clicking on the CD, but it wouldnt open.

Any ideas?

Try booting from the DVD. A clean install from booted DVD is preferred to running disk from Vista.

Read the accompanying literature closely. There may be special instructions for booting to clean install, or even running disk. Call Samsung Tech SUpport to get help needed as they will have the steps needed to workaround stalls and problems.

The beeps could be trouble. Mobos have built in beep codes for various hardware failures.
