[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1503064, member: 46727"] It's been awhile since I installed Windows 7 so my memory is rusty on which came first. I just re-read his initial post and I now agree with you. It does appear to be an error on the disk being read. It could also be his optical drive that's not working right. @sandwichbite: Try cleaning your optical drive with a can of compressed air by blowing several short blasts into the drive. Then try again. And please ignore my reply about formatting to NTFS as that will be done later after it gets past that stage you're stuck on. [/QUOTE]
