[QUOTE="Morvotron, post: 490321, member: 35163"] As first, you should know if the official drivers do not support Windows 7, it's [U]probable[/U] you can't use it (or did the computer came with that version?). When having problems with booting, i always used the same method. Format the whole disk with a Linux known distribution (known= no bugs). Installing any distro on my HDD always helped for "cleaning it". After properlly installed, Windows installations ended with no issues, nor did the booting. [I][B]STUFF TO KNOW:[/B] -Was the machine running Ubuntu regularly before it stopped working? Did it have factory Ubuntu? -Did you install anything (software, drivers) before it broke? -Ever had any Windows version on this computer?[/I] [/QUOTE]
