If anyone can please help me with this I'd be very grateful, as always. When I installed W7 on my PC I didn't get the dialogue that I expected about formatting the hard disk, but at least the installation started and succeeded, that was on a Vista Home Premium and I guess it was an upgrade install as there is a windows.old file on the PC now. I've tried looking for a solution on the internet but so far have drawn a blank, all instructions have the belief that at the stage I reach I should be seeing the installation dialogue. If I start running XP and then use Windows Explorer to start the setup.exe on the CD I get an error message telling me that I have the incorrect version for the PC. The CD continues to spin for a while before it too gets bored and shuts down.
The mouse cursor moves with the mouse but the keyboard doesn't appear to be active. The screen then displays ""Starting Windows"" with a progress bar, after which the Microsoft logo is displayed and then finally the Windows 7 splash screen is displayed. If I try to boot from the W7 Home Premium family pack CD I get the option to boot from CD or DVD, which I accept by hitting a key. Still no joy, so I looked at the installation guides on the web and realised I had to change the boot sequence in the BIOS so that the CD drive came bvefore the hard disk. When it first failed I thought it was due to only having 1.85 Gb free of 60 Gb on drive C, so I used Easus to delete drive E with 437 Gb and increase drive C to be the whole 500 Gb.
M3N78-EM motherboard with 4 Gb RAM and a 500 Gb hard disk, a NVIDIA GeForce 8300 display adaptor and an Iiyama 17 "" monitor. The PC is a year old and has AMD II X250 cpu's on an ASUSTeK Computer INC. I'm trying to install W7 on my wife's PC that currently has Windows XP Pro SP3 32 bit.
