Clicked next, took me to the actual install screen where it shows windows 7 progress. I click install and voila! it works, I am able to create and edit partitions. So, I ejected my disk, and then put it back in the drive and voila! Install screen appears. When it got to the first windows 7 blue screen with the bird, nothing appeared. It did the normal stuff, installed the preliminary files, and took took me through the windows 7 flying colors intro sequence. Then I rebooted with my windows 7 disk in the drive. I ran it from the disk, and formatted my windows xp partition, completely erasing my disk.
First I downloaded linux ubuntu 10.10, which i must say seems to work without a hitch. The problem before, was the setup wouldnt even progress far enough for me to delete a prior partition. If i hadnt of figured it out i would have tried booting from thumb drive. Please I beg on my hands and knees if anyone has just ONE little smidge of information for me, I would be so grateful. Im sorry for the horendously long description, but i felt it necessary. What the bloody hell is microsoft doing, trying to confuse us all and give us headaches which keep me awake in bed? Because I was using 7 for a while!!!!ĭo I simply need to reformat my Hard drive? in order to install 7? Well, then when I attempted to install Windows 7, I believe it worked (32bit version). I ran the disk directly (didnt install anything on my Hard drive) and then reformatted my Hard drive. And on my older pc about a yr ago, which had a 32 bit OS, I tried to install the 32 bit version of 7 home, and got the same exact error.įunny thing is, and Im not sure about this, but i believe that at one point i got so fed up with windows I picked up a copy of Linux Ubuntu. I have tried running the windows 7 setup.exe directly from desktop, but it doesnt even do anything. It boots/burn the image file fine, seeming to me that the drive isnt the issue. my new motherboard has an older IDE/PATA port, which is the interface of my DVD drive.
well, ignorent for microsoft to not have a disk format option prior to the windows 7 install option, if there are known compatability issues. I am trying to install over win xp 64 bit (i think that is my prob) As some kind of compatibility issue has become very apparent to me after a few hours of google searches. Forever, until after 10 minutes or so I get the error that install.wim does not exist. The problem is, the dvd boots, installs preliminary setup files, gets me into the screen where i choose "install", but there it hangs. I have done this many times, not with 7, and have gotten it to work no sweat. iso image file burned correctly onto a dvd-r. I just bought windows 7 pro 64 bit for my new computer and have the.
