Got the board in last night and the new 1tb hard drive , put the windows 7 disc in and........














































The same ****ing error!

 

Try a different DVD drive

 

Take it to the IBM store. The same geniuses that jump on Apple threads and decry them a waste of money will gladly assist you.

I Built it Myself

 

just the dvd drive left to swap every other component has already been changed...I may just have to give bootcamp a go on my mac for the time being.

 

Are you using the same install disk. Is it dammaged?

 

Try Virtual Box it's free and works very well. I use it for Win 7, XP and Ubuntu server and desktop, sometimes all at once.

 

downloading now.....

 

have you changed the PSU -- if they fail to give the MB the correct volatge it can display the symptoms you describe

 

Wow!

Amazing program, I have Vista running like a dream!

its free as well so what gives?

 

It is brilliant, make sure you install the Guest Additions, improves graphics and seamless support amongst other things, you should be able to find them on a network drive.

 

I was having problems with getting it to run full screen on my 27" screen but I thought I would try the guest additions options that i found and voila! I now have full screen vista, amazed!

 

Whilst it's fresh take a snap shot. It's Windows so in a few hours it'll be full of crap and choking on Malware, with the snap shot you can always roll back.

 

Hooray! finally had time to sort this out tonight, New windows 7 disc and a different DVD drive and all is working

I have myself a nice PC for next to nothing, windows 7 seems to be much better than vista and all is running great. I think there may be something magic about these windows 7 discs if they have even the slightest spec of dirt on them they fail to install.

 

Glad you got it sorted
