| 1154068 | 2010-11-19 00:15:00 | Something to try -- get a SATA Drive or a SATA DVD drive and try that. As previously mentioned - I have had similar problems before when both the HDD & Optial drive are on the one IDE. Attached a SATA DVD drive, installed windows, then once its installed put the other Optical drive back on as a slave to the IDE and it runs fine. |

| 1154075 | 2010-11-19 09:34:00 | yep, format C: should do it. thats also the command for DOS too. | The Error Guy (14052) | ||
| 1154076 | 2010-11-19 09:44:00 | When you install W7, the first thing it does is creates the two partitions, and formats the drive anyway. If the drive is already formatted it will redo it. Usually giving the option to wipe the existing partition. I think you'll find is something to do with the actual DVD drive not reading the DVD correctly. Using a separate DVD drive, and not slaved will confirm that ( or not) Edited: You could always install the OS from a USB drive, that will bypass the Optical drive completely. |

| 1154077 | 2010-11-19 09:51:00 | So have you got your legit discs working before? If possible try in another machine to test if they work, it looks like its ignoring the discs completely. Was the non legit burnt at a slower write speed, or a different type of disc (DVD-RW/DVD+R DL?) | NoTerra (16083) | ||
