csmdew Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Yesterday My windows 7 E started crashing repeatedly and has been a problem for several weeks so I decided to format and reload with 7 ult but I can't get anything to load to drive. After I get past showing drive to install os and it says it is installing files it quits after about 11% loaded (corrupt or missing files) and won't continue. I have tried several dvd discs with different versions and all do basicly the same, even the one from MS. These drives have been formatted and loaded several times before. Also I must note that I have tried with 5 different HDs. Any ideas how to force load or what I need to do to make it load the OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator DKT27 Posted January 11, 2012 Administrator Share Posted January 11, 2012 Problem with DVD drive?If it's not the disks nor the HD, than it should be the DVD drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csmdew Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 The drive reads and installs up to the expanding files and will only expand about 13% before it says missing or corrupt files replace disk and reinstall. Bye the way I have 2 dvd-rws in the case and get same results no matter which one I use. Could a cpu cause this type of problem. I really need help on this problem.

circaal Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I've never seen a CPU really give any1 issues. Try cleaning the lens in both drives. I mean both drives could be bad. Its not uncommon that both CD/DVD drives can fail or be dirty. It depends on how dusty the inside of the case is. I would see if you could install it from a flash drive. Its a lot faster and the flash drive can't get dirty. Also it can't hurt to test the hard drive. Try those and see if you get any issue-BTY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csmdew Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 2 hds are new and the othe ones were just being used (1( might have bad sectors and is why I decided to not fight with the BSOD); also both drives read fine until the files start to expand and then it get corrupt or missing files. I am now loading a flash drive on old computer to try, will update but seriously thinking about some target pratice with this puter. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csmdew Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 I have a store bought win 7 pro and I installed it to a flash drive and then tried to install on puter and it said damaged boot record. I have about 8 or 9 different win 7 iso and they all will start to load but when then get to about 13% of expanding files I get msg: Windows cannot install required files. File may be corrupt or missing. Make sure all files required for installation are available and restart the installation. error 0x80070570....Also when u say pen drive I guess u mean flash drive (right). What is the proper way to make it a bootable pen drince I must have done something wrong on the first copy I did. As much detailed instruction u can provide is greatly appreciated, thanks.

brent Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 first try this for making your pen/flash/usb drive bootable ,and for installing your OS http://wintoflash.com/download/en/ ,then if that does not work then check your Ram ,look for the common denominator in the equation !peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator DKT27 Posted January 11, 2012 Administrator Share Posted January 11, 2012 http://www.sevenforu...ive-create.htmlI think you need to go in BIOS and change your drive settings from AHCI to Sata or IDE (for the installation problem, not the USB drive thingy).

csmdew Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 Thanks to all u guys or gals for the great help. Turns out to be a combo of effects but with the usb load and removal of what appears to be a bad stick of ram I now have this win 7 back on its feet. The only problem is with age comes forgetfullness and I will probably forget what to do next time, So I'm gonna print out all the input on this page. Thanks a million.
