I'm trying to do a clean install on a recently formatted hard drive and it doesn't seem to work.
I've tried Win 7 x86 and x64, without any luck.
I'm running the latest BIOS. I've tried a 2nd hard drive, with a 2nd cable, plugged into a 2nd SATA slot, plus another DVD drive with a new ribbon cable.
Pretty sure the DVD isn't the problem because the ISO has been used many times. The same DVD is able to use VMware to create a virtual machine (not ISO, but by using the specific DVD).
Computer Specs:
MICRO-STAR INTERNATIONAL CO., LTD MS-7125 1.0
BIOS: Phoenix Technologies, LTD 6.00 PG 05/22/2006
2.20 gigahertz AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core
ST3250823AS Hard drive SMART reports healthy
3gb ram (memtest shows ram is good)
NVIDIA GeForce 6600 GT
I can boot from DVD into the windows 7 installation. When it gets to the installing windows screen, I get an error at the "Expanding Windows Files" step. The first step is "copying windows files" and my error happens right after that, at the 0% mark.
I have also restored BIOS settings to default.
And this computer used to run Windows 7, but I'm reinstalling everything from scratch. So if the BIOS was the problem, I wouldn't have been able to get it installed before.
This is my error:
"Windows installation encountered an unexpected error. Verify that the installation sources are accessible, and restart the installation.
Error code: 0xC0000005"
