ok my m8 said i might have a problem with my ram so i removed one of the modules and hey presto vista installed! Thanks very much for your help i rely appreciate the fast posts. THNX!!

i have been through all of what you said and have just borrowed a neighbours windows vista disk and still getting the same error 0x80070570. I have completely deleted everything and there is no recovery if i boot without any cd or usb it says bootmng missing press cntrl+alt+del to restart.

OK so i will go through the problem i have. I have a Fujitsu siemens laptop Amilo Li 2727 bought it about 2 years ago has been fine since. Originally windows vista os. Ram: 2GB processor: 1.8ghz intel dual core Graphic card: GMA integrated HDD: 180GB First off i installed a joypad to my system to play a game and kept getting error messages on the BSOD. A few days later i turned on my system and fujitsu recovery came up attempting to repair my system but was unsuccessful. restart the system again and there is nothing there no OS nothing. So i download iso image for windows vista and attempt to re install vista formatting all drives but no luck i get error message about corrupt files during extraction point. So now i try windows 7 disc and i get same error. so i have a look through some forums and find out it could be my ISO or burning software, so i put it on the usb and try again still no luck same error. I now get very fed up and try installing ubuntu from disk and installation just freezes during copying files process. I then try it on usb and same problem occurs. I have no idea what happening here but i keep getting these error messages during windows installation or i get the BSOD during installation with a different error code every time. Please help me i just need to get an operating system working on my computer.
