Cannot get past the screen that says
---Windows installation cannot proceed, to install windows click ok to restart the computer then restart the installation--

I have tried the differant start ups from the bios and tried the recovery disc's but I continue to get the screen. What am I missing? Key used to proceed? Any help to get past this would be great. :confused:

Sounds like the hard drive is corrupted. Try the startup repair and if that doesn't work then delete the partition.

I've also had my woes with installing Windows 7 (much less other versions). The last time I had a problem it turned out to actually be the data written on the DVD disc itself was corrupt. Other than that, more likely the installation created a corrupt setup.exe or other important startup file. I'd recommend doing a complete wipe of your HDD/SDD and repartition it (clearing the master boot record as well helps tremendously I've found).
