Thanks to everyone for the help you left behind!! Wednesday, September 8, PM. Tuesday, September 28, PM. Sunday, October 3, PM. Add my name to the list of people with this problem.

Read many many many threads on possible solutions, unfortunately none of them worked. The worst human interface in existance Microsoft Windows. Thursday, December 9, AM. Saturday, January 1, AM. Again, the solution to the problem depends on your HDD type. Hope it helps.. Tuesday, January 25, AM. Enable legacy USB support. Tuesday, January 25, PM. I getting the error of corrupt data like the others and had to delete the partition and start over.

Never did work. I noticed that alot of these folks are using LG drives. I also was using an LG Blue Ray burner the one they sell at best buy. I put in my Asus and it made it through the install. Only problem Im haveing now is it wont boot up past windows screen. I will add some more data later when I get home from work. Just wanted to point out maybe its the LG Blue ray drives and the windows 7 disk not liking each other for some odd reason. Thursday, February 10, PM.

Saturday, November 19, PM. I was experiencing really weird behavior like this, too. Tuesday, December 27, PM. Very frustrating! I first eject disc, no go. I then disable intel speed, no go. So i took out a stick of RAM..

So i reburned the image using 2X speed, worked like a charm and its already done installing! Good Luck! Friday, February 3, AM. Tuesday, February 28, PM. Thanks sdbyrd!!! I think this is the first thing people should try!

Rob Kraft. Tuesday, June 19, AM. Friday, July 6, AM. Thursday, October 4, PM. I have to add that this worked for me as well. It took less than five minutes to finish installing after that. Friday, October 5, PM. Weird, huh? But whatever works! Sunday, December 23, AM.

Hello everyone, I had the same problem, an error while expanding files error code : 0xD. The file expansion was still a little bit slow about 2 or 3 minutes but it worked. Hope this could help future readers.

Friday, August 16, AM. Popped the CD tray open, closed it, and it ran fine afterwards. Tuesday, August 27, PM. I got this error yesterday having just popped in a new GB HDD in to my laptop which runs Windows seven fine on a gb I have tried everything I can think of - 1 Two HDD as I bought a second thinking it was the disk that was the problem!!!!!!!!!!

Additionally I have even tried installing XP but that blue screens during install I have been on this for nearly 24 hours and nothing! Saturday, November 9, PM. Hi rob, How did you disable Floppy in Asus Laptop. I dont see any floppy option Thanks, Prajesh. Sunday, May 25, AM. Exelllent: worked for me it didnt even dawn on me to try that as i had no error message it was just stuck.

On older operating systems always pops up an error when it cant read the disk and would just burn a fresh one and use that so when no similar message on win 7 i just assumed was something else Nice one. Thursday, July 17, PM. Thank you!!! Monday, December 8, PM. Thursday, December 18, PM. This trick also works when doing an install from a USB drive. Sunday, February 22, AM. Thank you so much! I logged in just to tell you this worked and you're a life and time-saver. The real MVP. Wednesday, November 18, AM.

Rustedbucket, you saved my day!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thursday, June 15, PM. Thursday, February 8, PM. I made the following tweaks to BIOS: 1. Make sure date and time are correct in BIOS 2. Core Multi Processing: Disable 4. Boot up NumLock: Off 5. Video Memory Size: 1 MB 6.

You may also want to try installing another version of windows first and then running the EXE from the DVD to install 7. Allow it to download updates from the internet and then opt for a clean install. I had the same problem, but I was trying to run in a VM, and that's how I solved my issue. Wednesday, January 21, PM. I'm having this problem too, but I have not been able to solve it by re-formatting the drive.

My iso is not corrupt and I burned it to DVD at 2x speed. I downloaded it from the Microsoft site. Does anybody know what's going on here? Monday, January 19, PM. I'm getting an error message shortly thereafter, something to the effect it can't find the required files, installation cancelled. I've tried two installs now with brand new hard drives and same results both times.

Same thing you can see what to choose but it goes nowhere. Windows System Restore don't work - Can't find 1 and there are over Windows Recovery Disc will not work - It just sits there after you choose an option. Discs made on that pc. I Removed Hard drive and coppied an operating system on it last nite. Renamed first windows, Old Windows. Reinstalled Hard drive. Computer can't start windows. Tested hard drive with 4 test, and it's good. I am thinking Motherboard or Processor.

Was hoping someone could suggest something to try that maybe I overlooked. I am about to make a boat anchor out of it. Any Help would be Greatly Appreciated. The girl that owns this computer is very poor with 4 kids and no husband or boy friend, I am just trying to help her out. Her mother used to be my best friend in the world, but was killed a year ago in a car accident.

I was sure hoping to help her out. This is the first computer, I can say I don't know what's wrong with it. I have fixed Hundreds of computers. But this 1 has me stumped. If it was mine, I would. Let memtest run for as long as you can: 2,4,6,8 or more hours at least 3 full passes , if no errors by then your ram is OK.

I tried F1, and boot menu. Computer will not run it. Pauses for 2 min and starts windows repair utility. Tried F1 and boot menu. Pauses 5 min and starts Windows Repair Utility. This is an HP I googled it last night and found there is an overheating issue. Seams HP didn't provide enough vent holes for adaquit cooling. Some are saying Processor over heats and fails. Read all my symptoms and please tell me if this sounds like a processor. If so I found 1 for 99 cent last night on ebay.

I am thinking it is worth a try. But I am just not sure it is the processor. I have never in over computers I've worked on, had a bad processor. So I don't really know what to look for. Any Help will be Greatly Appreciated. I hope others with this problem will find this useful. Sorry I did not come back until now. But it looks like you have found an interesting solution. Can you feedback what happens when you plug those thing back in and try for the drivers - in particular the sound card?

It's odd. At the stage where you got your failure, I doubt that the installation had even began examining your computer requirements - but who knows. Maybe in some way, your previous OS was hogging some resources there and left little for the installation requirements.??? Full installation was complete with no problems.

Takes a while though. After I plugged in the USBs and the sound card, the computer asked for a couple of updates for the hardware connected to the USB ports.

No problems with the sound card. Joined Apr 14, Messages 1. Good call on removing the USB devices. I had the same Vista install problem - took hours to get to initial install screen and then had to wait overnight to get to install completing Over and over again. After seeing your post I checked my USB devices and I actually had an orphaned USB cable dangling from the back of the computer had used it earlier to transfer photos from a digicam while the OS was still XP but left the USB cable connected to the computer after disconnecting the camera After removing the offending USB cable, Vista install proceeded without a hitch!

Glad to be of help. Joined Apr 16, Messages People will also find that the Vista installation will hang if there hardware isn't up to it. Joined Apr 23, Messages 1. When i try to install Vista on my HP Compaq Presario CEA notebook the installation hangs the completing installation stage with an error msg saying my hardware is incompatible and the computer just shuts down. I even once installed the Windows Vista starter and it worked. Please help me. Joined Aug 12, Messages 2.
