This happens on both the 32 & 64 bit disc.This is a brand new purchase which I opened it about an hour ago.The laptop has a 400GB HD and 2GB of ram. It came with Home Prem x64 pre-installed, So the hardware meets the requirements.What seems to be the problem?

Jun 29, 2011I just bought a new hard drive and a brand new Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit disc and I am doing a clean install on the new hard drive. it seems that everything is going normal, but at a random time during the installation, the computer just shuts off.sometimes it doesn't even get to the installation when it shuts off. sometimes it shuts off in the middle of the "windows is loading files..." black screen. there are no beeps when it shuts off or when I turn it back on. there are also no error codes.whenever i turn it back on it simply acts as if it never tried to install windows and starts the boot all over from the disc

I never intended on setting up raid but apparently all the literature i see is on raid. I created a USB install disk as reccomended onto a 8gig ntfs primary active did the bootsect /nt60 X: and it successfully worked copied the cd over to the flash drive and copied the rste drivers in a folder called drivers My SSD is installed on port 1 6gig sata intel (as this board doesnt have marvel apparrently) My DVD is installed on 3gig Sata port 6 I set up Raid in the bios as reccomended by others (as this is the only way to install ssd?).
Nothing UEFI is enabled There are no other drives hooked up to the computer. Just SSD, USB cordless mouse, keyboard and no network cord or WIFI i started with a clean ssd as reccomended my bios recognized the ssd on post i booted into the win 7 install (MBR not uefi) i loaded the 64 bit rste drivers from asus as reccomended by others i left the machine to install the usb then booted into windows install (for whatever reason) i pushed f8 to boot my corsair windows brings up an error on a black screen File: windows/system32/drivers/adpahci.sys driver did not load Status: oxc0000221 Info: Windows Failed to load because of a critical system driver is missing or corrupt
Installation Error: Setup Cannot Continue Due To A Corrupted Installation File
Sep 13, 2009I am installing Windows 7 (Custom installation initiated from Windows XP) but I get the following error message when the installation is on the "Installing updates" step of the installation:
"Setup cannot continue due to a corrupted installation file. Contact the vendor of your Windows installation disc or your system administrator for assistance."
Do you have any idea what the problem may be with the installation? Is there a way to see what file that may be corrupted?
I have tried to burn the DVD in low speed, but the error appears anyway. I have a MSI K8T Neo2-Fir mainboard and the Windows 7 upgrade advisor application says that my hardware is okay for upgrading.
"Windows Could Not Complete The Installation, To Install Windows On This Computer, Restart The Installation"
Apr 16, 2012First, my laptop is a Aspire 5250-BZ853. I received it back in October, I think...may've been earlier. But anyhow, it was working just fine yesterday until I did a Windows Update. I had to restart, and it was fine again. But then it began running sluggishly slow, and just terrible overall so I restarted it once more and that was when the problems began.
This entire day, this has been driving me nuts. I have important files on here, and I backed up most on my external harddrive a bit ago but there were a few I missed and hadn't the chance to get (ironically enough the most important, papers and such.) At first, it said my password was wrong -- as if someone had changed it! I restarted it once more, thinking it an error or something, and did that again so I restarted it again. Finally, it worked but I think it logged me in as safe mode somehow. After that, it restarted on its own and began this loop. I did a LOT of searching on Google until finally someone suggested to someone else to try pressing "ALT + F10" I think it was as it was starting, and finally I made progress. Before that, it was just going into a constant rebooting loop and I couldn't even log into safe mode. Trying to reset it back to a time it was working was futile, because it said there was no recovery time there! So that shot that idea down. At last, I got somewhere.as well. I clicked the reset to factory settings, but still keep all the files (and they would be saved to "C:Backup" and I thought it had finally worked. But now as it reinstalls, I got an error saying something about how it needed to restart or something...so when I clicked "okay" it began again, and finally it all just came to a stop on "Windows could not complete the installation. To install Windows on this computer, restart the installation."
Windows 7 Re-installation?
Oct 19, 2011I had purchased Windows 7 upgrade about 2 years ago, downloaded and saved it as an ISO CD. I just had to format my hard drive and re-install. The installation completed but never asked for my Key Code. I checked Control Panel > System and found a temporary key code valid only for 15 days. When I changed the key code, I was advised of a "failure" because this Windows 7 was an "upgrade." Yes, I had upgraded from XP. Must I re-install XP and then install W-7 as an upgrade?

Dec 6, 2010I'm currently changing my Acer Revo R3610 from Linux to Windows 7. I'm downloading it from Microsoft as we speak. It's been a very long time since I ever loaded a new OS, i'm downloading the ISO files to load straight from a USB stick but there is part 1 and part 2 download. I have the tool for creating a bootable USB but do I down't understand how you can do that with 2 ISO files, surely part 1 (2.3gb) is the file to choose when creating this. What is part 2?Lastly do I just tell the BIOS to boot straight from the USB and let the installation do the rest or am I missing something?

Jan 24, 2012I want to install Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit on a 64GB SSD. The most articles about Windows 7 installation on the net focus on SSD itself, but I wonder what to do with the existing HDD, before and after installing W7 on SSD.Since there are several software and drivers already on the HDD, I don't want to format it, but obviously I don't need to leave the Windows OS on HDD once it is installed on SSD. I guess I shouldn't just erase the windows folder there, since there are registries and other information related to the whole system functionality. I have a retail version Windows 7 disk.

Sep 18, 2012My question is surrounding installation of windows and how it works. I am a nerd and play quite a bit of games, I have(had) a 120g SSD that I had windows and the smaller stuff on. Then I have a 2tb hdd that I stored all of the large programs on so I could keep the ssd @ around 50% or lower capacity(was told this was important).Well my SSD seems to have failed, I trouble shooted it through bios and its not recognized even if I swap it with my 2tb hdd that is being recognized. So my question is can I install Windows on my 2tb HDD that already has files on it and be able to access the files just as I previously did when I had windows on my ssd?

Error 651 After New Windows 7 Installation?
Jan 28, 2013I've just installed Windows 7 on top of my old XP machine. For the first hour I had no problems connecting to the internet. I downloaded antivirus protection (AVG) and Comodo firewall and windows 7 began updating itself. The comodo firewall download stalled and I had to manually reboot the computer. It seemed to start fine in normal mode and windows finished updating itself. Since then however (i.e. after the reboot) I have not been able to access the internet with an 'error 651" message displaying. I removed both AVD and Comodo with no change in the situation. I also did a system restore to before the windows updates, still no luck.
I access the internet via a broadband modem connected to a router. I don't have the full details of the models with me now but can repost in about five hours with the details if needed. I've searched online and note that many have said I should replace the raspppoe.sys file.
Since this is a brand new instal, should I just re-install Windows 7?

Process Of Windows 7 Installation?
Jan 21, 2009First things first. Brand new discovery! Did you know that it's impossible not to backing-up and lose your old files during Windows 7 installation? That's right! Microsoft contradicting it-self in the first steps of installation preparation step by step information. At first they say that we should back-up our old files as they WILL BE deleted. Then they practically force an option of where our old Windows files will be backed up into Windows.old folder. So the folders such as "Users, Program Files, Windows ...etc" will be stored in Windows.old folder. And any other files created by you that are stored in "C:" directory will remain untouched! So don't worry about upgrading or backing up anything, since Windows 7 does it all for you! My advice, just go with a clean install and you'll be safer that way. Now back to business. Have you ever experienced a really bad day with such as Windows 7?Possible solutions for your headache have finally arrived:We need to try almost everything possible in our powers to locate and solve the problems, right?NOTE: I'm gonna do these steps backwards like if we don't really know how to solve this quick!

Mar 2, 2010I thought about upgrading some HW in my machine. i put everything in there, put a DVD with Win 7 inside, booted. It showed up that loading bar, after that the win starting animation, than the blue flowerish background poped up, than even the mouse showed up, but after that nothing happens. No installation window, only background with mouse cursor. I tried to wait 10 mins with no results. I even tried my RC beta DVD but it does exactly the same (well the background is slightly different :-) ). So now I am using my linux dvd to get access to the net to ask this. And linux works fine.
I have:
INTEL Quad Core q9200
ASUS Extreme Maximus motherboard
2x2GB patriot kingston RAM
Genius PCI 5.1 Audio
everything else was there before the upgrade, so it shouldnt have effect on the problem. (its some ASUS EAH 3650 video, LG DVD - I got it specifically for Win 7 beta, the previous one was making errors during installs , some SATA hard disk)
Removed parts:
ASUS P5GDC PRO
2x 1GB RAM DDR1
INTEL Pentium IV 3Ghz
