Problems with WIndows 7 instalilation

[dwayne]

Hey guys im having several problems with windows 7 instaling on my custom build PC

 

I install windows 7... reaches at the.. completing installation... then it cuts off it reboots then says there was an error in the installation and tries to go back then my PC restarts again. tried to start it with safe mode then it says the installation cannot be completed in safe mode meaning it hasn't finished yet.

 

I did wipe my harddrive fully clean... and its IDE

Hi dwane,

 

This could be due to a few things, from what I've read.

 

First, the installation media. If the DVD is scratched, damaged, or corrupted then this could happen. Is there another machine you can try the disk in?

Bear in mind that simply booting from the disk isn't enough to check it: try copying it's contents onto a folder on your desktop. If it hangs or fails before it's finished then there may be a problem.

 

Second, how manny hard disk drives do you have in the computer? If you have more than one, try disconnecting all except the one you wish to installl windows on, and try again.

 

Third, disconnect any peripherals you have during the installation such as external hard drives.
