Howdy, |

I got a neighbour that has a computer issue. First, the hard drive went |
| 4 |
out. We ordered a new one and installed it. Then he realized he didn't |
| 5 |
have the restore discs. We ordered those from Gateway. I went up today |
| 6 |
and tried to install winders 7 on the new drive. I put the system disc |
| 7 |
in and it booted. Then it asked for the recovery disc #1. It copied |
| 8 |
that over then asked for disc 2. After a bit it wanted the Language |
| 9 |
disc. Then it said to reboot and it spit out the DVD. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
When it reboots from the hard drive, it comes up and says it is setting |
| 12 |
up the hardware and it seems to finish it. Then a window pops up and |
| 13 |
says this: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
"Windows Setup could not configure windows to run on this computers |
| 16 |
hardware." |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
I never saw any error at any time until the message popped up. The |
| 19 |
install from the DVD went fine. It is point and click basically. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
After I first put the new drive in, I booted Sysrescue USB stick. I |
| 22 |
even ran the test on the drive. I didn't see any errors on anything |
| 23 |
there. I'm fairly certain this isn't a hardware issue. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Any ideas on why this doesn't work? Maybe have a fix? Bad media? |
| 26 |
Wrong media? I ordered it by the big long number so if it is wrong, |
| 27 |
Gateway picked the wrong thing but who knows. |
